Detention basins, also called extended detention basins, detention ponds or dry detention ponds are surface storage basins that retain storm water. During storm events, the area gets flooded and could lead to filling up of the detention pond in cases of longer duration of rainfall. After the rain ends, the stored water flows in the sewer system. In absence of storm events detention ponds are dry and could be used as a green area or playgrounds.
