Surface Waterbody SubTypes

SubType Key	Display Name	Geometry	Documentation	Also Known As
DetentionBasins	Detention basin	Polygon	Store run-off from large areas and only fill after heavy rainfall, letting pollutants settle out before water soaks away or discharges slowly downstream	Bioretention area
RainGarden	Rain Garden	Polygon	Low maintenance area, planted which takes run off from Roof Space or other non-permeable areas. Not always in public space and can be small or large in size	—
Pond	Pond	Polygon	Permanently wet depression	—
RetentionPond	Retention pond	Polygon	Can provide both stormwater attenuation and treatment. Designed to support emergent and submerged aquatic vegetation along their shoreline. Runoff from each rain event is detained and treated in the pool. The retention time promotes pollutant removal through sedimentation and the opportunity for biological uptake mechanisms to reduce nutrient concentrations. https://www.susdrain.org/delivering-suds/using-suds/suds-components/retention_and_detention/retention_ponds.html	—
Lake	Lake	Polygon	Hold significant volumes of water above ground level	—
Reservoir	Reservoir	Polygon	Engineered water storage facilities designed primarily for water retention and flow control	—
Wetland	Wetland	Polygon	Flooded area in which water is shallow enough to enable the growth of bottom-rooted plants.	—
