Abstract
A reservoir bag and method of use and implementation is disclosed herein. The reservoir bag may be configured for controlling surface water run-off and may include a plurality of cells with at least two adjacent cells in fluid communication with each other to allow water to communicate between the adjacent cells. To aid in the mobility of water, the bag may include one or more perforated pipes therein to direct flow of water through the cells and to an outlet.
Claims30
A reservoir bag, comprising:
- an elongated bag including a bottom panel and opposing side panels longitudinally extending between a first end and opposing second end to define a interior volume capable of retaining at least aggregate and fluid;
- a plurality of baffles extending at least between said opposing side panels to define a plurality of cells between said first end and said second end;
- each of said plurality of baffles include a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, wherein said bottom edge is not substantially adjacent to said bottom panel;
- and
- at least one fluid channel extending from at least one of said plurality of cells to at least one another at least one of said plurality of cells between said baffle bottom edge and said bottom panel.

A reservoir bag comprising:
- an elongated bag including a top opening, a bottom panel, and opposing side panels longitudinally extending between a first end and opposing second end to define a interior volume capable of retaining at least aggregate and fluid;
- a plurality of baffles extending at least between said opposing side panels to define a plurality of cells between said first end and said second end;
- each of said plurality of baffles extending from said top opening to a bottom edge not substantially adjacent to said bottom panel to define at least one through opening extending longitudinally to fluidly connect at least two adjacent said plurality of cells.
A method of controlling surface water runoff comprising the steps of:
- providing one or more reservoir bags, each said one or more reservoir bags having an elongated body with a bottom panel, wherein said body is divided into a plurality of cells by one or more baffles positioned between a first end and a second end of said bag, wherein a bottom edge of said baffle is not substantially adjacent said bottom panel;
- filling one or more said plurality of cells with at least an aggregate adapted to allow water to flow between adjacent said cells at least under said bottom edge of said baffle;
- installing one or more perforated pipes longitudinally within said body;
- and
- positioning said reservoir bag at least partially in the ground.
