These practices provide water balance control for the 90th percentile event and roadways achieving water balance requirements during a 90th percentile event.  Flows from larger rain events are conveyed to a [[dry pond]] / [[wet pond]] and then into [[constructed wetlands]] and water courses (Susdrain/CIRIA, 2014)<ref>Susdrain/CIRIA. 2014.

These types of treatment trains are becoming more common because they can achieve multiple [[Runoff volume control targets|stormwater control]] and [[water quality|treatment objectives]].  Since wet ponds alone do not achieve stormwater water balance criteria, they must be supplemented with facilities providing runoff volume reductions to meet regulatory requirements. If site water balance objectives require control of the 90th percentile event (roughly 25 – 30 mm in most jurisdictions), the same infiltration facilities may also be used to treat the water quality storm (typically 25 mm), allowing for a [[dry pond]] or similar temporary detention facility to be used at the end-of-pipe to meet flood and erosion control criteria.
