Viivytyspatoja
Viivytyspatoja, also known as retarding basins or detention basins, are engineered structures designed to manage stormwater runoff. Their primary purpose is to temporarily store excess rainwater and release it slowly over time, mitigating the negative impacts of rapid water flow. This controlled release helps reduce peak flood levels downstream, protecting infrastructure and properties from damage.
These basins are typically constructed in urban or developing areas where impervious surfaces like roads and

In addition to flood control and pollution prevention, viivytyspatoja can offer ecological benefits. Wet basins can
