Attenuation ponds are constructed for a number of reasons on all kinds of properties. They hold a number of agricultural advantages, particularly where maintaining a supply of water is concerned, especially when the sensitivity of the land makes it difficult to enact other irrigation solutions. They do, however, serve a number of diverse functions. So let’s take a closer look at what they are and how you can use them to enhance the quality and value of your own property.
What are Attenuation Ponds?
In a nutshell, attenuation ponds are designed to catch runoff from rain water that would otherwise go to waste. Set on a higher point on your land, they easily catch storm-water and retain it there permanently to be used for a variety of tasks from controlling storm-water runoff to facilitating improved irrigation on large sects of land. They do, however, hold a number of other advantageous functions.
Make the Best Use of Storm Water
Using an attenuation pond to control storm-water runoff allows you to make the best use of excess rainwater on your property, since it can be stored for times when there is minimal rainfall. Since this water is generally treated it can be used for a number of things such as irrigation or even housing submerged or emerged vegetation, though likely not human consumption.
Enhance Property Aesthetics
Attenuation ponds can be constructed with aesthetics in mind. If you have enough room to work with on your property, you can use them to create a beautified outdoor space that possibly supports some form of aquatic life, or is simply there to beautify a particular part of your property.
Up the Value of Your Property
Since they can be constructed with a number of functions in mind, attenuation ponds generally have a remarkably positive impact on the value of your property. If you are looking to sell, having one will put your property in good standing on the market.
