Design of detention basin system along highways
A system of detention basins is an effective device for control of, storm flood both in terms of quantity and quality. The feasibility of designing detention basins for flood control by use of abandoned spaces near highway interchange and between highway embankments is investigated. Three …

Extended stormwater detention basin design for pollutant removal
… formulation for estimating the average time of detention within a pond for a captured runoff volume is presented. It is assumed that mixing takes place during an event and that settling occurs over the period required to empty the captured volume or the time between successive events, whichever …

Evaluation of spatially dependent on-site detention basin policies
Stormwater detention basins are typically used for stormwater control in many communities across the United States. They are commonly constructed downstream of every new development to control post-development runoff, and are called "on-site" detention basins. It has been shown by multiple authors …

Simulation and design of diversion and detention system for urban stormwater management
Diversion of the first flush of storm runoff to a detention basin for pollutant removal is an efficient way to control nonpoint source pollutant in urban areas. This can be achieved by a diversion box and detention basin system. To numerically simulate the response of the system to a design …

Assessing Urban Non-Point Source pollutants at the Virginia Tech Extended Dry Detention Pond
… investigate the effectiveness of an extended dry detention basin as a pollutant removal management practice on a 21.68-acre urban watershed on the Virginia Tech Campus. This research included extensive stormwater monitoring and sampling to characterize the runoff and water quality from an urban …

Simulation and Assessment of Long-Term Stormwater Basin Performance under Real-Time Control Retrofits
… A case study RTC retrofit of seven existing detention basins was simulated for a small (162 ha), urbanized watershed in Blacksburg, VA. Two heuristic, reactive control algorithms were tested and compared for their ability to improve hydraulic conditions at each detention basin and the …

Evaluation of cost effective approaches for nutrient removal in urban stormwater and wastewater: City of Fort Collins case study
… followed by ammonia stripping and extended detention basin (EDB) retrofits.

An Investigation of the Performance of a Constructed Wetland in Treating Urban Stormwater
… facility was constructed by retrofitting a dry detention basin to retain a permanent shallow pool and included additional temporary storage to detain roughly the first half inch of rainfall for approximately 24 hours. Vegetation was allowed to establish itself through volunteer colonization, …

Characterizing the Impact of Freshwater Salinization on Engineered Ecosystems: Implications for Performance, Resilience, and Self-Repair Through Phytoremediation
Stormwater detention basins are commonly used in the Eastern United States to temporarily store and attenuate stormwater runoff, and also serve as habitats for native and exotic plants. However, during winter, these basins receive saline runoff from road salt application, which contributes to …

The contribution of heavy industry and commercial activity at Canning Vale to the loads of nitrogen and phosphorus released in the Bannister Creek catchment area
… in Bannister Creek, at the Tom Bateman Reserve Detention Basin, were 1.32mg L-1 and 0.11mg L-1 respectively. Concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus were not indicative of point source discharge. Nutrient concentrations reported in Bannister Creek in this study, have been consistent with data …

Modelling the Hydrologic Impact of Land Cover on Stormwater Detention Basins in Harris County, TX
… County Flood Control District (HCFCD) built detention basins throughout the county to temporarily store stormwater runoff and release it slowly, lowering peak flows and preventing downstream flooding and erosion. These basins vary in land cover, with some covered by trees and others by grass. …
