<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.
