Model - Pond with Underground Detention

What would be the best way to model a site with an underground detention system and a detention pond?

I have my site which the inlets and piping will collect all the runoff and place it into the underground detention system. Then it will utilize the detention pond. However, the underground detention system is a few tenths above the normal pool of the underground detention system.

Thanks for your help!

I believe you need to read what you just wrote. Perhaps a more detail
explanation would also help.

Detention systems are just fancy storage areas. The only realistic modeling is a pond routing of a hydrograph into and out of your ponds.

In the Hydraflow Hydrograph product - you can model your site, route into the underground pond, and then into the other detention pond. You do indicate that the underground detention pond is about the same elevation of the storage provided by the excavated pond. I would assume that they would function together and this would be considered a interconnected pond.

Hydrographs only allows a one-way flow - so be sure you are not discharging anything other that your underground detention system into the pond.

Hi mstg007,

You are going to have to create a depth/storage relationship for your
pond. Although the roofing of the pond may affect the values in that
relationship, as far as the computations in the software are concerned
it will not matter whether there is a roof or not.

Don't worry about the roof at all.

Regards

Laurie

More info on relative locations & how they feed each other would help but
I'm thinking you might need a combined stage storage relation for both
basins if filling the pond will backfill the underground system by gravity.

If gravity does not back fill the underground system why can't you use 2
ponds in Hydraflow. One for the underground system and one for the pond.
Outflow of basin1 is inflow to basin2.

mstg2007, if you can post a print of your project in plan view it may be easier for us to understand exactly how you are modeling your system so that we can provide you with more appropriate feedback. If you are modeling your project as a single system and trying to utilize your pipe conveyance system as part of your storage (for example using oversized pipes) then you would need to reflect this in your stage storage table for the pond. However, if this is truly a separate underground detention system then you could create an independent stage storage table in Hydraflow Hydrographs using the 'Chambers' option.
