Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Attenuation Ponds / Sustainable Drainage schemes
The Council owned ponds/basins might be mapped in Environment Agency's Flood Storage Areas, but Steve is more after private Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). These may be difficult to spot, as they are often landscaped ponds. AFAIK there isn't any register, but could possibly be gleaned from planning permissions. I would welcome other info/thoughts. This is part of what i do for my day job.

That seems to be what I settled on too, e.g. http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/189511931 Ed From: Chris Hill [mailto:o...@raggedred.net] Sent: 07 May 2017 17:35 To: talk-gb@openstreetmap.org Subject: Re: [Talk-GB] Mapping Attenuation Ponds / Sustainable Drainage schemes [not cross posted] I have mapped some largish attenuation ponds as landuse=basin, basin=detention here http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/53.7810/-0.4483 These are specifically described by the council, who commissioned them, as flood alleviation.

[Talk-GB] Mapping Attenuation Ponds / Sustainable Drainage schemes
Many new UK housing estates are required to be built with Attenuation Ponds / Sustainable Drainage schemes as part of their development. These are to control rain water runoff during storms and consist of a pond surrounded by an embankment with a controlled release structure to slow down drainage of the water to the river system. The relevant features might be . Low or normal water level of pond . High water level or top of embankment . Land use/vegetation between low/high water marks is water tolerant/marsh plants . Structures for water input and output - often brickwork and filter screens round a pipe. Has anyone any experience of mapping and tagging such a structure?
