Stormwater Retention Basin Construction

Stormwater retention basin construction involves creating a man-made depression or basin designed to collect and store stormwater runoff, allowing it to infiltrate into the ground or slowly release it into waterways. This technique is used to manage excess runoff, reduce flooding, and improve water quality by trapping sediment and pollutants. The construction process includes excavating the basin, grading it to the appropriate depth and slope, installing inflow and outflow structures, and planting vegetation to stabilize the soil and enhance filtration. Stormwater retention basins are an essential component of sustainable landscape design, particularly in urban areas where impervious surfaces increase the volume and velocity of runoff.
