Understanding Storm Water Ponds

A brief video explaining the cycles that a storm water pond experiences when exposed to natural elements and nutrient enriched storm water runoff.

Excellent solution. Same principles apply in Aquariums.

@6:21 Most fountains are designed to be just that fountains for decoration. However aeration is a huge side benefit. While most manufactures place the intakes close the surface some have deep water intake as a standard. Aqua Control Inc for example makes deep water intake a standard on units and are most likely best choice for retention ponds. Some intake lengths can go down up to 30' depending on pond. Fountains are still a good choice for retention ponds but a decision need to be made wisely.

Cool idea!

When you introduce the matts are you using established water plants or are you planting them small and letting them grow whilst using up nutrients ?

Aren't people floating clumps of barley grass to control algae? That sounds like a cheaper solution.
