Stormwater Basins
Stormwater Drainage A stormwater basin, also referred to as a wet detention pond or an infiltration pond, is a man-made area of graded earth that’s designed to manage stormwater runoff. Unlike natural ponds that hold water continuously, a stormwater basin typically holds the water temporarily after a rain event and then empties it out at a controlled rate to avoid flooding and erosion. These ponds are designed to protect against flood damage, serve as an artificial wetland and improve the water quality of adjacent bodies of water. As urbanization increases, stormwater runoff can overwhelm city sewer systems and cause significant erosion and flooding on downstream properties. The use of traditional drainage methods such as basins has been successful at reducing flood peak flows, but the practice often increases soil infiltration and stream erosion rates. These conventional techniques have limited water quality treatment and often require a large area of valuable land that could be used for development.
