drainless function chamber, doline

Explanation:
Da mir die im Ernst gefundene Übersetzung "function chamber" nicht gefiel, habe ich im DIN-Normenverzeicht (beuth.de) nachgesehen und keine Treffer gefunden. Anschließend habe ich Eurodicautom konsultiert. Dort gab es den Begriff "doline" = Doline. Allerdings wird dies wieder als "sinkhole" (Sickergrube) bezeichnet, was es anscheinend nicht ist. Auch die Ausdrücke "pit", "hole" und "sump" deuten auf Versickern.
