Abstract:Detention (periodically dry) and retention
(permanently wet) ponds are common in Florida.
Since the 1970s, stormwater management has
been required for development in Florida in order
to protect the state’s waters. Ponds collect runoff from streets and parking lots and slow it down
on its way to nearby streams or rivers. On open
ground, rain soaks into the ground, percolates
down into groundwater, and slowly makes its way to outlets. Paving and runoff accelerate the process, concentrating and speeding runoff
water into local water bodies. This causes rapid increases in nutrients and pollutants, which can
have serious impacts on environmental and human
health.
