Subterranean fluid distribution and drainage system

Disclosed is a system for filtering and distributing fluids to the subterranean soil environment. The system includes spaced core sheets that are typically partially enveloped with fluid permeable fabric. In one embodiment the core sheets are arranged in an alternating wide and narrow configuration. Fluid is transferred from a pipe to the core sheet edges and travels along the core sheets and through the fabric into the subsurface environment. In another embodiment a transfer sheet is provided adjacent at least some of the core sheet edges. Fluid is transferred from a pipe to the transfer sheet for subsequent distribution to the core sheet edges for travel along the core sheets and through the fabric into the subsurface environment.
