What sets the system apart in the stormwater storage industry is its flexibility: it can be “dotted” across a site, adapting to the often-complex constraints of urban infill projects. Localized, shallow detention allows captured runoff to be repurposed for landscape irrigation — supporting both sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.
Passive irrigation occurs as stored stormwater infiltrates into the planting soil, delivering moisture directly to tree roots without the need for pumps or additional infrastructure. And because Marino Cell can be configured around utilities and other subsurface elements, it can be placed exactly where this reusable water will offer the greatest benefit.



By incorporating solutions like Marino Cell, cities can turn stormwater from a costly liability into a sustainable asset — one that nourishes green spaces, mitigates flooding, and reduces reliance on imported water. As urban areas continue to grow, creative stormwater management strategies will be key to building resilient, livable, and environmentally responsible communities.
