The timely development of the Etobicoke Exfiltration System (EES) occurred at a period when engineers, biologists and scientists were actively investigating infiltration as a technique to manage stormwater.In most areas which can be significantly impacted by urbanization, infiltration is a major component of the hydrologic cycle.Consequently, the reduction in pervious land cover due to urbanization has a direct and detrimental impact on fluvial geomorphology, erosion, water temperature, chemistry, aquatic environment (fisheries) and adjacent terrestrial environments.
