Design of a Detention Pond Volume WL Inflow Discharge Outflow Q(t) Inflow Peak outflow ison recessionlimb of inflow. Outflow Time
Types of Detention Pond ‘In-line’ storage reservoir with outflow control device to reduce peak flow ‘Off-line storage reservoir with connection above normal hydraulic grade line On-site storage on parking lots or below ground in oversized storm sewers or trench On rooftops of proposed new commercial buildings
Theory of Reservoir Routing QO2 = ? QI2 Law of Continuity Dt Inflow Outflow QI1 QO1 Inflow = Outflow + Rate of change of storage Assume:- (1) Storage depends only on outflow(2) Reservoir surface is horizontal(3) Water surface elev. is function of outflow
Theory of Reservoir Routing (2) Inflow = Outflow + Rate of change of storage f(QO) QI1 + QI2 - 2QO1 Outflow QO

Storage Models MIDUSS 98 provides 4 tools to assist in defining the depth-storage relation. • “Rectangular” reservoir or pond • Oversized storm sewers • Wedge shaped storage (parking lots) • Rooftop storage
Rectangular Pond storage Aj+1 = Lj+1 x Bj+1 Lj+1 Aspect ratio R = L/B Am H m Lj Aj = Lj x Bj For irregularly shaped ponds the aspect ratio R is defined by:
Oversized Storm Sewers Weir & orificeoutflow control D S0 WL IL Datum
