Why Some Ponds Fail…
Poor maintenance is the leading causes of pond failure. A poorly maintained detention pond can lead to unpleasant odors, nuisance insects rodents, and becomes an unsafe area.
Detention ponds can fail for several reasons such as:
- Poor vegetation maintenance such as out of control weed growth or too little mowing
- Clogged inlets or outlet resulting from trash and debris, and sediment accumulation
- The excess build up of silt
- Failed side slopes of the embankment (Erosion)
