A precast concrete storm water assembly comprised of a plurality of modular precast concrete components is provided. More specifically, a fluid collection and containment system is provided that comprises a plurality of underground modules and permeable devices, such as ground level pavers, to allow the ingress of fluid at a predetermined rate. Various permeable and non-permeable conduits are also contemplated for conveying fluid within the system.

1. An assembly for retaining storm water beneath a ground surface comprising: a plurality of substantially rectilinear modules each having a substantially horizontally disposed roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;
1. An assembly for retaining storm water beneath a ground surface comprising: a plurality of substantially rectilinear modules each having a substantially horizontally disposed roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;said plurality of sidewalls comprising a first pair of lateral sidewalls, said lateral sidewalls provided in a substantially parallel relationship, and a second pair of longitudinal sidewalls provided substantially perpendicular to said first pair of lateral sidewalls;a layer of drainage-enhancing medium positioned above said plurality of modules;a layer of filter fabric positioned above said drainage-enhancing medium;a layer of aggregate material positioned above said filter fabric, and a layer of permeable pavers positioned above said layer of aggregate material;said second pair of longitudinal sidewalls comprising ports to allow ingress and egress of a liquid;said plurality of modules being aligned in a longitudinal direction of said assembly, and each of said plurality of modules are provided in fluid communication with an adjacent module via said ports;wherein at least one of said modules comprises a plurality of discrete openings in said substantially horizontally disposed roof portion to allow ingress of water into said at least one of said plurality of modules; andwherein said plurality of modules are provided in series and wherein at least one of said ports of a successively adjacent module in said series comprises a port of a smaller area than a port provided in said preceding module. 2. The assembly of claim 1, wherein at least some of said second pair of longitudinal sidewalls comprise ports of a different area. 3. The assembly of claim 1, wherein said plurality of openings in said substantially horizontally disposed roof portion comprise slots that have an opening associated with an outer surface of said roof portion that is between about 1 inch by about 4 inches wide and an opening associated with an inner surface of said roof portion that is between about 3 inches by about 6 inches wide. 4. The assembly of claim 1, wherein said plurality of substantially rectilinear modules are positioned on a layer of permeable gravel. 5. A system for capturing, storing, and distributing water in a subterranean location, comprising: a first module comprising a substantially horizontally disposed roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;a second module comprising a substantially horizontally disposed roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;a layer of drainage-enhancing medium positioned above said modules;a layer of filter fabric positioned above said modules;a layer of aggregate material positioned above said filter fabric;a layer of permeable pavers positioned above said layer of aggregate material;said vertically disposed sidewalls of said first module comprising a first panel and a second panel;said vertically disposed sidewalls of said second module comprising a third panel and a fourth panel, wherein said third panel and said fourth panel are provided substantially parallel to one another;at least one of the first and the second panels comprising a first flow port, and at least one of the third and fourth panels comprising a second flow port, said flow ports defining a fluid flow path through at least one of the first, second, third and fourth module wherein said fluid flow path is substantially perpendicular to at least of the first and second panels;wherein the first flow port is larger than the second flow port;wherein at least one of said modules comprises a plurality of ports in said substantially horizontally disposed roof portion, said plurality of ports provided in a staggered distribution and wherein each of said plurality of ports comprises a grate; andwherein said first module and said second module are provided in series. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein said modules are positioned on a layer of permeable gravel. 7. A system for capturing, storing, and distributing water in a subterranean location, comprising: a first module comprising a roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;a second module comprising a substantially horizontally disposed roof portion and a plurality of vertically disposed sidewalls extending from the roof portion to define an interior volume;a plurality of permeable pavers provided above at least one of said first module and said second module;said vertically disposed sidewalls of said first module comprising a first panel and a second panel;said vertically disposed sidewalls of said second module comprising a third panel and a fourth panel, wherein said third panel and said fourth panel are provided substantially parallel to one another;at least two of the first, second, third and fourth panels comprising a flow port, said flow ports defining a fluid flow path through said modules wherein said fluid flow path is substantially perpendicular to at least one of the first, second, third and fourth panels;wherein a flow rate of said first panel is larger than a flow rate of said second panel, and the flow rate of said second panel is larger than a flow rate of said fourth panel; andsaid first module comprising a first plurality of flow ports in said roof portion, and said second module comprises a second plurality of flow ports in said roof portion. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said first plurality of flow ports in said roof portion of said first module is greater in number than said second plurality of flow ports in said roof portion of said second module. 9. The system of claim 7, wherein said first panel comprises a greater number of flow ports than at least one of said second panel, said third panel, and said fourth panel. 10. The system of claim 7, further comprising a treatment device that removes contaminants from the water. 11. The system of claim 7, wherein said system comprises a surface structure comprising a plurality of spaced pavers with weep holes located therebetween to allow the passage of water. 12. The system of claim 7, wherein at least one of said modules comprises a first lower portion and a second upper portion, said first lower portion and said second upper portion each comprising approximately one-half of the height of the at least one of said modules, wherein said first lower portion and second upper portion are connectable about a substantially horizontal midline to form the at least one module. 13. The system of claim 7, further comprising a water permeable conduit, said water permeable conduit in operable communication with a permeable surface and at least one of said modules. 14. The system of claim 7, wherein at least one of said flow ports in said vertically disposed sidewalls comprises a selectively removable panel. 15. The system of claim 7, further comprising a third module provided in series with said first and second modules, wherein each of said modules in series comprise successively decreasing fluid permeability.
