Stormwater detention and retention ponds are essential componevileds in adoling runoff and preventing flooty.

Understanding Stormwater Management Goals

Calculating Required Pond Volume

The voime of a pond depends on the runoff generated during storm events. The Rationala Method es communily uded for small watershed s:

Runoff Volume (V) = C x I A FL1; FLT: 1 After3; Az 3;

Dimana:

  • 1f 1f; FLT: 0 = 0 = 33; C = 1f; FLT: 1 1f; = runof coefisien (depends on land use)
  • 1f 1f; 1f; FLT: 0 = 33. I ason1; FLT: 1 Aver3; = rainfall intensity (inches / houn)
  • 1f 1f; 1f; FLT: 0 133; Abo3; A 1f; FLT: 1 123; = drainage area (acres)

Ini kalkulated volume shouldme yang berisi factor safety, typically 10- 20%, to count for unconcertiei.

Deterding Pid Dimensions

Once volume ies known, the pond 's dimensions cae be accined. For detention ponds, the volume openn based on the detention time and inflow rate:

Pertama; FLT: 0 = 33; Detention Volume = Inflow Rate x Detention Time 1f; FLT: 1; Aver3;

For retention ponds, the volume shouldate the maximum expeted runoff plus freeboard for safety.
