Description

A retention pond is a pond which collects the overflow of the Roombeek and lets the water slowly infiltrate to replenish the groundwater table. This water can also be used in the terrain management to water sensitive plants and trees. The banks of the Roombeek behind Zilverling have a section where they are a little lower. When the Roombeek is transporting water after heavy rainfall, at this section the water will flow over to the retention pond and reduce the water flow in the Roombeek contributing to reduced flood risk.
