This shows a balancing pond constructed as part of a SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage System) for Centenary Close (the houses in the background), Market Harborough. The idea is that the depressed area of the balancing pond (or retention basin) allows compensation of surface runoff from the area of development lost to hard surfaces.
