Course Title: Detention Basins and Ponds

Delivery Method: Live Online

Course Description: This two-hour course for design professionals focuses on detention basins and ponds as stormwater management tools. The course will provide the information needed to determine the need for a detention basin or pond, to choose a basin type, size and design, to select native vegetation, and to provide maintenance considerations.

Learning Objectives:

Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to identify and define the types of basins (detention, retention, infiltration) and their purposes in order to choose the correct basin for their needs.

Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to determine the detention area and understand how that will affect the sizing and design of the basin.

Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to select proper, native vegetation to provide added benefits to a basin or pond, including soil cohesion, reduced runoff, enhanced infiltration, slower water movement, and wildlife habitat.

Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to perform the required maintenance to keep the basin/pond clean, safe, and operational. Case studies related to detention basics will be analyzed and discussed.
