Les étangs sont un bon moyen de gérer les eaux pluviales, en raison de leur grande capacité de rétention. Il y a deux types d'étangs, à savoir les étangs dits secs et les étangs dits humides. Les étangs secs sont, on s'en douterait, habituellement à sec; ils retiennent l'eau pour de courtes périodes seulement, et ils la relâchent vers un milieu récepteur par un exutoire dont le débit est contrôlé.
