How about we let incoming freshman name it right after they get off the bus from fish camp? That would be, like, so redass!

Aeration or water inflow is critical if you want it to support a food web ...
Fountains are not.

That picture looks cheap and I really hope that we go in a different direction.
Food web?
Its a freaking detention pond. I'm all for making it look nice, but this is an engineered structure to hold back storm water flows first and foremost

Actually, no.

A detention pond is a structure built that controls storm water flow, and outside of rain events is typically a dry structure. Some hold water annually, but are designed with enough freeboard to operate as designed during storm events. What is proposed at Spence is not a structure that will be designed to mitigate storm flows.

This is an ornamental water feature - it will have water in it full time, and as such will need a feature like a fountain to circulate and aerate water to prevent stagnation. Any benefit for aquatic life resulting from circulation and aeration is likely just a side benefit. Same as the water fountain found at the front of almost every single development built these days - it's for looks, and pretty much nothing else.


It still could be a retention pond. A detention pond is typically dry except when it's filled with storm water or river overflow. A retention pond maintains a body of water year round and is also used to control runoff from storm water. Detention=ugly, retention=possible year round water feature.

I'm starting to think this way too. I don't donate much but my church could probably put it to much better use.

Not sure what to call it. But if I ever see Scott Peterson take his boat out on it I'm going to be very suspicious.

Damn, you had to reach way back in the memory banks for that one.
