A detention basin or retarding basin is an excavated area installed on, or adjacent to, tributaries of rivers, streams, lakes or bays to protect against flooding and, in some cases, downstream erosion by storing water for a limited period of time.

Partially treated wastewater is dumped into Quebec's waterways hundreds of times a year

To design better water filters, MIT engineers look to manta rays: New research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between permeability and selectivity that could inform design of water treatment systems. #water #watertreatment #nature #engineering news.mit.edu/2024/mit-engineer

"Concerns over water quality in Paris’ Seine River postpone men’s Olympic triathlon...

"Paris, like many old cities around the world, has a combined sewer system, which means that the city’s wastewater and stormwater flow through the same pipes. With heavy or prolonged periods of rain, the pipes’ capacity is reached, which means raw wastewater flows into the river instead of a treatment plant."
