<strong>Flood</strong> Storage<br />

Multiple Uses<br />

Combining the water quality facility with a flood control<br />

facility is recommended. The 5-year, 10-year, 100-year or<br />

other floods may be detained above the WQCV.<br />

When desirable <strong>and</strong> feasible, incorporate the extended<br />

detention basin within a larger flood control basin. Also,<br />

whenever possible, try to provide for other urban uses<br />

such as active or passive recreation <strong>and</strong> wildlife habitat.<br />

If multiple uses are being contemplated, use the multiplestage<br />

detention basin design approach to limit<br />

inumdation of passive recreational areas to one or two<br />

occurrences a year. The area within the WQCV is not<br />

suited for active recreation activities such as ballparks,<br />

playing fields, <strong>and</strong> picnic areas. There are best located<br />

above the WQCV level.
