Basin

Used for more detailed specification of natural=water + water=basin or landuse=basin.

Key	Value	Comment	Photo	Rendering
basin	infiltration	A special basin used for infiltration of rainwater into the groundwater. From infiltration basin: "It is essentially a shallow artificial pond that is designed to infiltrate stormwater though permeable soils into the groundwater aquifer. Infiltration basins do not discharge to a surface water body under most storm conditions, but are designed with overflow structures (pipes, weirs, etc.) that operate during flood conditions."
basin	detention	A special basin used for detention of rainwater before being discharged into a surface water body. It is normally empty and only fills with water during floods. From detention basin: "A detention basin is a stormwater management facility ... that is designed to protect against flooding and, in some cases, downstream erosion by storing water for a limited period of a time. These basins are also called "dry ponds", "holding ponds" or "dry detention basins" if no permanent pool of water exists." The picture beside shows a "dry pond"
basin	retention	A special basin used for retention of rainwater before being discharged into a surface water body. It stores water at a low level during normal times, and even more during floods. From retention basin: "A retention basin, is a type of best management practice (BMP) that is used to manage stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and downstream erosion, and improve water quality in an adjacent river, stream, lake or bay. Sometimes called a "wet pond" or "wet detention basin", it is an artificial lake with vegetation around the perimeter and includes a permanent pool of water in its design."
basin	evaporation	A basin containing water containing a dissolved substance (precipitate). These basins are used for harvesting precipitate, removing the water from hazardous waste, evaporating the precipitation that falls on a contaminated site, or preventing pesticides, fertilizers, and salts from agricultural wastewater from contaminating the water bodies they would flow into.
basin	aeration	An aeration basin.
basin	cooling	An artificial body of water which was created to supply cooling water and/or store heat.
basin	footbath	A basin containing water to clean the feet before entering a swimming pool.
basin	settling	A settling basin. Settling basins are used to treat wastewater by settling.
basin	water_regeneration	A basin with plants for the biological regeneration of water, e.g. at swimming pools. Example in OSM.
