[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 50917, member: 337"] Any retention buys time and "evens out" the peak flood. Once peak has occured they can slowly release the retained water in a manner beneficial to downstream communities. a bypass ditch with no retention has the capacity to force the water around Fargo's natural pinch point even faster than would be occurring without the ditch - making flooding downstream worse than ever so that's why a retention/ditch hybrid design was picked - it was more likely to work well - and they through a "few" farms under the bus in order to save many more farms/communities downstream from uncontrolled flooding [/QUOTE]
