One of the biggest challenges for engineers and developers is keeping up with regional stormwater quality requirements. Why not specify a single stormwater management solution that can adapt. When using smartPOND for water quality, there is a plethora of opportunities due to its ability to be programmed to meet local requirements. Whether being used in conjunction with a wet basin, a wetland, an infiltration pond or a standard detention pond, smartPOND puts stormwater in its place.
Water quality requirements continue to change as we see less focus on Total Suspended Solids and more emphasis on Phosphorus, Nitrogen, Metals and even PFAS, or forever chemicals. Why not work with a stormwater quality platform that can change with regulations?
Unlike traditional stormwater measures that are fixed, smartPOND can be reprogrammed to meet a changing regulatory regime simply by adding sensors and changing code. The future of stormwater management is here.

Batch Detention
Batch Detention is a wastewater concept that has been adapted to stormwater management by creating a temporary settling pond within the water quality basin. The University of Texas in Austin developed the concept and has been approved through the Edwards Aquifer Protection Program as an innovative practice that yields a 91% TSS removal rate. To accomplish this, it hold the water quality volume for 12 hours before releasing it over 48 hours, leaving sediment deposited along the pond bottom. Maintenance is required after 6” of sediment has accumulated. smartPOND is the preferred choice of some of the largest engineering firms and contractors for performing batch detention.
Controlled Infiltration
Infiltration is the leading best management practice for stormwater quality. If little to no stormwater leaves the site, then there is no pollutant discharge. The unfortunate this is our soils don’t always comply with our needs. This is where smartPOND comes in. smartPOND is a control device designed for site condition modification and monitoring. Storms and sites vary, why not have a solution for them all. The program function on smartPOND allows for triggers associated with time and water level. Setting these levels allow us to control how much water the site can infiltrate and how long it can infiltrate for. This can maximize infiltration while preventing the possibility of killing valuable plants in the bottom of a stormwater basin or green infrastructure practice or wetland.
