Analysis of detention ponds for storm water quality control
Abstract
Flow capture efficiency and average detention time are the performance measures commonly used in assessing the long‐term pollutant removal effectiveness of storm water detention ponds. A statistical formulation is presented for estimating these two performance measures for typical detention ponds where outflow is controlled by an orifice or weir type structure. The flow capture efficiency is determined with the estimation of the total spill …
