Also known as infiltration basins.
      +
Also known as infiltration basins or [[detention basins]] (according to their features). Dry ponds are a grassed alternative to [[bioretention]] cells. This permits the landscape to be accessed and used as an amenity space.
 
==Overview==
 
==Overview==
 
Dry ponds are recommended as [[flood control]] structures to accommodate occasional excess overflow downstream of other structural BMPs. They should be integrated into the landscape as useful, accessible public space.

==Planning considerations==
 +
Dry ponds are a useful tool for managing flooding during larger storm events. They are well suited to being placed downstream of other smaller distributed BMPs for occasional backup flood protection.
 +
Where possible they should be integrated into amenity space, given that users rarely wish to continue outdoor activities during such intense rainstorms.
 +
 +
Compared to wet ponds “Dry ponds… …are less expensive to install, require less maintenance and may involve less liability for the communities around them.”

===Infiltration===
 +
For information about constraints to infiltration practices, and approaches and tools for identifying and designing within them see [[Infiltration]].
 +
For guidance on infiltration testing and selecting a design infiltration rate see [[Design infiltration rate]].
 +
 +
===Risk===
 +
Where temporary storage of water occurs on the surface the depth and rate of rise of the water should be sufficiently low that risks posed by the water body are minimized for site users (taking into account the temporary nature of the storage facility which will mean that the public are not accustomed to its presence). A risk assessment should be undertaken of the frequency and rate of flooding to a range of inundation depths in order that public safety is not jeopardised. <ref name=Ballard>Ballard, B.

The bottom of a dry pond should be flat to encourage uniform ponding and infiltration across the entire surface. Recommended tolerance on base levels 10 mm in 3m.
 +
 
 +
The side slopes should be no steeper than 1:3 to permit vegetation stabilization and access for maintenance and amenity. This may be relaxed where the pond area is very shallow (0.5 m). stepped or benched slopes are also a possibility, but consideration should be made of maintenance access. <ref name=Ballard/>

 +
===Detention time===
 +
A detention time of 24 hours should be targeted in all instances. Where this necessaitates a very low outflow, a [[Flow control#Vortex valve|vortex valve]] or similar is recommended over an [[orifice]] or pipe restiction. The detention time is approximated by the drawdown time.
 +
The drawdown time in the pond can be estimated using the classic falling head orifice equation which assumes a constant pond surface area<ref name="MOE"/>. This assumption is generally not valid, and a more accurate estimation can be made if the equation is solved as a differential equation. This is easily done if the relationship between pond surface area and pond depth is approximated using a linear regression:
 +
 
 +
<math>A_o=\frac{2A_{P}}{t\ C(2g^{0.5})}\left ( h_{1}^{0.5}-h_{2}^{0.5} \right )</math>

 +

 +
* ''A<sub>p</sub>'' = Surface area of the pond(m<sup>2</sup>)
 +
* ''C'' = Discharge coefficient (typically 0.63)
 +
* ''A<sub>o</sub>'' = Cross-sectional area of the orifice(m<sup>2</sup>)
 +
* ''g'' = Gravitational acceleration constant (9.81 m/s<sup>2</sup>)
