Infiltration of rainwater is, among the alternative techniques, one of the most important roles to control the stormwater effects. The conceptual river infiltration models are very useful for application in alternative techniques, especially for the infiltration basins. Contrary with the mechanist models, these models are very simple, and contrary with the empirical models, the parameters of these models are very easy to find. Four selected models, Dupuit-Forchheimer, ERNST, MILES and MOREL were compared. Three models of D-F, ERNST and MILES are likely applicable to the alternative techniques, more precisely for the infiltration basins and the street with tank structure (and probably for the infiltration trenches).
