-Wet ponds reduce the flow velocity of runoff, allowing suspended particles to settle out.  In addition, these devices remove nutrients, heavy metals, and other pollutants from stormwater by utilizing several biological processes.  The efficiency for this practice is dependent upon the size of the pond, the size of the drainage area, and other site characteristics.  As a result, the efficiency for this practice must be calculated using factors unique to each site.  For more information, refer to the [[pond efficiency]] page.+Wet ponds reduce the flow velocity of runoff, allowing suspended particles to settle out.  In addition, these devices remove nutrients, heavy metals, and other pollutants from stormwater by utilizing several biological processes.  The efficiency for this practice is dependent upon the size of the pond, the size of the drainage area, and other site characteristics.  As a result, the efficiency for this practice must be calculated using factors unique to each site.  For more information, refer to the [[basin efficiency]] page.
