How Stormwater Ponds Store & Manage Water Flow
Stormwater ponds are a delicate ecosystem designed to best serve the local environment. Ponds are designed by engineers to store stormwater, either temporarily or permanently. Based on engineering calculation at the development of a property, stormwater control measures are chosen to best store, treat or convey stormwater on the property.
The Importance of Stormwater Ponds for Large Properties
Every stormwater pond is unique to the property it belongs on. The design incorporates the local regulations, surrounding impervious areas, expected rainfall and future developments. Stormwater ponds are a common choice for storing and treating stormwater runoff on large properties, especially in the case of large impervious area like parking lots.
Both retention and detention ponds require regular maintenance including vegetation management and trash removal. Without visually inspecting and maintaining stormwater ponds, they will eventually require repair as they are exposed to water and constructed with natural elements, like vegetation. Most often, pond structures like outlet control (OCS), inlets or outlets, or rip rap swales suffer from failures.
Understanding Stormwater Pond Types on Your Property
Retention ponds are built to store water permanently, the water level may vary based on rain events, but if your pond is not holding the appropriate amount of water, it is not functioning correctly. Contact an industry expert today to inspect your stormwater system. Detention ponds are not meant to permanently hold water and should fully drain within 72 hours. If you are unsure what type of stormwater pond is on your property, reach out to an AQUALIS representative today.
Swales are designed with soil that allows water to infiltrate the ground, providing ground water recharge. Many SCMs utilize sunlight to facilitate evaporation and vegetation to facilitate denitrification
