Understanding Outfalls: Structure and Function

Outfalls are structures built at the mouth of a stormwater management system, such as a detention pond or a wetland, that allow excess water to flow out of the system and into a nearby waterbody. Outfalls are typically designed to control the rate at which water flows out of the system and to prevent erosion and scouring of the downstream waterbody.
