Dry well
Dry well refers to an underground storage facility for water, typically storm water runoff. Simple dry wells consist of a pit full of rocks or other debris. More complex dry wells may be made of plastic or concrete. They have holes in the sides and bottom to let stored water percolate out to surrounding soil, and are sometimes used at the end of a French Drain to store runoff.
