A Ponding Basin is a large excavated site that is primarily used to store a large volume of storm water during storm events. This water is gathered from a network of Inlets and Storm Drain Pipelines within a Drainage Area (watershed) where it is directed to a Ponding Basin for temporary storage. Eventually, the storm water is pumped from the Basin and directed into a waterway or other Basin where it is discharged out of the system entirely. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Each ponding Basin serves only one Drainage Area (watershed), and may have secondary uses for recreation or groundwater recharge.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

This Feature Class participates in the \u201cDrainage\u201d Topology, where it shares common geometry with Drainage Area Boundaries, Inlet Boundaries and Landuse Boundaries. A Topology is a collection of rules that, when coupled with a set of editing tools, enables GIS to more accurately represent geometric relationships.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

The Basins Feature Class is stored within a Geodatabase (stores a collection of geographic datasets) which is housed on the Districts GIS server.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

In addition to storing the Basins geometric shape, this Feature Class also stores \u201cAttribute\u201d information related to the planning and maintenance of the Basins Feature Class.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "This Feature Class contains polygon features that represent Existing and Proposed Basins.", "title": "BASINS", "tags": [ "Basin" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 0, "maxScale": 0, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District - Fresno, CA", "licenseInfo": "To be used for official Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District purposes only!" }
