Retention ponds assist with the following:
- Retaining runoff before diverting it into streams and waterways in a controlled manner. Water is released at a rate similar to that which would exist in a natural body of water. The ability of retention ponds to hold high water volume reduces load on storm water management systems that are downstream.
- Retention ponds also allow for pollutant removal from the water via settling and biological uptake.
