Dry detention ponds can elevate the [[Stormwater Thermal Mitigation|temperature of stormwater]]. This effect can be reduced by shortening detention time (US EPA, 2021)<ref>United States EPA. 2021. Stormwater Best Management Practice. https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2021-11/bmp-dry-detention-ponds.pdf</ref>, increasing canopy cover, or installing [[Stormwater Thermal Mitigation#Cooling Trenches|cooling trenches]] at the pond outlet (City of Toronto, 2015)<ref name = "CoT 2015"></ref>. Alternative stormwater controls may be better suited for areas that discharge to cold-water streams.
