A detention basin, also known as a detention pond, is a stormwater management facility designed to temporarily hold rainwater runoff and release it slowly over time. The primary purpose of a detention basin is to manage stormwater flows in order to prevent flooding, reduce erosion, and improve water quality by allowing sediments and pollutants to settle out of the water before it is released into downstream waterways.
