Stormwater basins are the often-unnoticed impoundments built to temporarily hold water during rain or flood events and prevent high volumes of water from rushing into nearby streams. They are designed to hold water until it has a chance to drain, usually into the surrounding soils and groundwater. There are different types of basins-dried or wet basins, and those that are permanently full of water like ponds (referred to as wet basins). The most common way of managing stormwater runoff is through detention or retention basins. These are designed to slow down the flow of water from development areas where the soil is compacted and can’t absorb the water quickly enough, causing flooding and erosion. Basins are important because the volume of stormwater runoff that gets away from urban or developed areas can overwhelm local sewer systems and create environmental damage. | |
