Detention basin. A detention basin or retarding basin is an excavated area installed on, or adjacent to, tributaries of rivers, streams, lakes or bays to protect against flooding and, in some cases, downstream erosion by storing water for a limited period of time.
Riparian wetlands, marshes, and tidal wetlands, which are dominated by surface flow, may remove, store, or release water, nutrients, and sediments. Mangrove wetlands are not included in this discussion because they are marine or estuarine systems that have little significant function in watershed freshwater dynamics.iparian wetlands, marshes, and tidal wetlands, which are dominated by surface flow, may remove, store, or release water, nutrients, and sediments.
