a drainage quilt which operably rests adjacent to a subterranean conduit and facilitates water removal and dispersal from underground drainage sites . the drainage quilt includes a water permeable membrane configured in a generally rectangular container and a plurality of drainage members disposed within the container . the drainage members are composed of recycled or new plastic or chunks of old rubber tires and are positioned in a homogeneous fashion to create drainage channels through the subject quilt . flexible positioning ties extend perpendicularly through the rectangular container to retain the relative positioning of the drainage members . the ties prevent the drainage members from assembling at any one area of the drainage quilt and thus encourage an equal distribution of fluid flow throughout the quilt .
