Pond



The other part of the drainage equation, along with the French drains, is to dig a pond. One of this site's French drains terminates at the edge of the pond and shares the pond's wetland overflow to control any excess water. The pond and wetland will be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, as well as providing habitat for birds and animals. Storing water, using water for wildlife, and recharging the aquifer are all sustainable functions in planning how to control the "waste" water generated from roofs and runoff.
