Parjana: Thinking Differently About Drainage

Last year, we became aware of a revolutionary groundwater drainage system that intrigued us. The system was developed/ produced by a company based inDetroit called Parjana Distribution.This system is unlike anything we've ever seen in that it allows storm water to penetrate the ground and re-charge the water table. Surprisingly, it does this best in clay soils which we have an abundance of here in SW Ohio!

In our long career as a builder/developer, Kiesland is all too familiar with water problems; we understand how storm water can be inconvenient and difficult to deal with, how expensive it is to fix water damage and manage run-off. We also know the challenge of addressing the quality of water runoff. The regulatory environment has become increasingly demanding of property owners and local government is under pressure to prevent/control "un-checked" storm water discharges. Our designers have grappled with these very issues on our design/build projects - the result has usually been something we would describe as an "expensive compromise" that few parties are really happy with.

With Parjana's patented system , we see a unique approach that will allow us to take a fresh look at solving a host of drainage issues that are commonplace for building and homeowners. The Parjana system has been in testing and development for 15 years but has only recently become commercially available for large scale projects. The company has done hundreds of projects - mostly in the Detroit area and in Europe where an affiliate company operates.

Parjana has proven successes in a number of areas, including:

Basically any situation that involves managing standing water or flooding has potential to be solved with Parjana. The list of potential new applications is growing rapidly as the market understands the capabilities of this system.
