How does a retention basin differ from a detention basin in managing stormwater runoff?
A retention basin only collects water during storms and then quickly drains it, unlike a detention basin which holds water permanently.
A retention basin is designed solely for recreational purposes and does not manage stormwater runoff, unlike a detention basin.
A retention basin maintains a permanent pool of water, allowing pollutants to settle, while a detention basin temporarily holds water and releases it after a storm.
