Pipe Retention and Detention Systems Explained

Pipe retention and detention systems are a series of dual-wall pipe rows that act like an underground pond to hold stormwater runoff. The area above the system can be used for things like parking lots, parks, green spaces, or athletic fields. Both retention and detention systems move stormwater from the surface to the rows of pipe. Pipe detention systems hold the water to be recycled for other purposes, like irrigation. Pipe retention systems allow the water to seep back into the ground to recharge the water table or be discharged.
