A constructed pond that captures storm water runoff for the purposes of  retention and treatment.

A facility that collects water from developed areas and releases it at a slower rate than it enters the collection system. The excess of inflow over outflow is temporarily stored in a pond or a vault and is typically released over a few hours or a few days.

a body of water that is used to collect storm water runoff for the purpose of controlling the release of this runoff

a man-made feature built to hold and store flood water or other surface runoff for later release

a man-made structure for the temporary storage of stormwater runoff with controlled release during or immediately following a storm

a pond which temporarily detains the storm water discharged from an area

A lined or unlined hole in which surface drainage is captured, held temporarily, and then released steadily.

A water impoundment made by constructing a dam or an embankment, or by excavating a pit or dugout usually to provide temporary storage of runoff.

a basin constructed to store water temporarily to attenuate flows.

A storm water system that delays the downstream progress of storm water runoff in a controlled manner. This is typically accomplished using temporary storage areas and a metered outlet device. (As opposed to a less common Retention pond)

A pond to collect and temporarily store stormwater runoff. Pollutants are allowed to settle out, and the water is then gradually released to surface waters.

A low lying area that is designed to temporarily hold a set amount of water while slowly draining to another location.
