[QUOTE="Doing it for the kids, post: 7807320, member: 50712"] They do! Exactly. the lake is sized to take a flash flood over the land in question. depending on ground type you either use semi permeable surfaces or pipe it all to a lake. That lake has a small pipe at the bottom (well almost) with a hydro brake on that lets the water out slowly. the theory is the spike in rain fall is ironed out over the coming days by a trickle out. So Long as it’s maintained is the best solution to stop flash flooodng. where possible when heavy rain is forecast they should open up every pipe and get as much out as soon as possible so they can use the storage and throttle it back once it gets to ‘flood level’ lower down. too simple perhaps!?
