| Detention pond |
|
Detention ponds are basins that are designed to hold run off from the surrounding area till it infiltrates into the ground. Under this project, a detention pond will be designed to retain 1.5 inches of runoff and will be measured for inflow/outflow and its respective water quality. The pond will be designed to resemble a meandering river with associated vegetation to reduce erosion as well as act as filter strips, to serve as a demonstration tool for stream restoration. The width to length ratio will also be taken into consideration to maximize sediment retention and nutrient intake. |
