    From what I have been gathering its a sectioned of part of the bottom of the enclosure used as a water drainage area. Usually used to grow live plants so the water just doesnt build up in the substrate and also used when running a waterfall system in an enclosure.

    Water drainage system. Prevents soggy substrate, root rot if you have live plants and regulates the humidity.
