The best retrofit sites fit easily into the existing landscape, are located at or near major drainage or stormwater control facilities, and are easily accessible. For example, almost every urban area has some type of existing pond or other existing feature adaptable for retrofitting. In many newer neighborhoods, dry stormwater detention facilities were constructed for flood control. In older neighborhoods there are often aesthetic ponds, or other water features which can make suitable retrofits.
