Measure summary

Detention basins and ponds are water bodies storing surface run-off. A detention basin is free from water in dry weather flow conditions, whereas a pond (e.g. retention ponds, flood storage reservoirs, shallow impoundments) contains water during dry weather, and is designed to hold more when it rains.
