Retention ponds can play an important role in helping greenhouse growers manage storm water. It’s not clear, however, how they influence water quality as the water flows from roof to pond and, ultimately, to surrounding watersheds.

This article is the second in a series of case studies designed to help growers reduce, remediate, and recycle irrigation water as part of a multi-state research grant (CleanWateR3.org).
