Detention basin means a type of storage practice used to detain or slow storm water run-off and then release it through a positive outlet.
Detention basin or “detention facility” means a human-made impoundment area made by constructing an embankment, or excavating a pit, or both, for the purpose of temporarily storing stormwater.
Detention basin means an excavation into soils hav- ing low permeability or installed with a liner having low perme- ability, not having a permanent pool of water, designed and con- structed to temporarily hold storm water to reduce peak discharges of storm water for flood control and to allow for the physical settling of pollutants.

More Definitions of Detention basin
Detention basin means a man-made or natural water collector facility designed to collect surface and sub-surface water in order to impede its flow and to release the same gradually at a rate not greater than that prior to the development of the property, into natural or man-made outlets.
Detention basin means a stormwater management facility which temporarily impounds and discharges runoff through an outlet to a downstream channel. Infiltration is negligible when compared to the outlet structure discharge rates. The facility is normally dry during periods of no rainfall.
Detention basin means an area designed to detain peak flows from storm water runoff and to regulate release rates of that water into the storm drainage system, also allowing debris to settle out. Detention basin outlets may also be connected to downstream storm drains. Flows entering detention basins are released via outlet piping.
Detention basin means a depression, designed with an inlet and outlet that regulates water flow and allows debris to settle out, that is capable of detaining storm water runoff until it can be released without causing damage downstream.
Detention basin means a reservoir, which temporarily contains storm water runoff and releases it gradually into a watercourse or storm water facility.
Detention basin means a man-made or natural water collector facility designed to collect surface and sub-surface water in order to temporarily retard excess peak storm runoff, and to release the same gradually at a rate not greater than the rate prior to the development of property, into natural or manmade outlets.
Detention basin means a facility constructed to restrict the flow of stormwater to a prescribed maximum rate, and to detain concurrently the excess waters that accumulate behind the controlling outlet.
