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 humides contiennent toujours de l'eau, et ils retiennent les eaux pluviales jusqu'à ce que leur capacité soit dépassée; l'eau déborde alors vers un milieu récepteur.
