Detention ?
Detention has several meanings. For most of us during our high school days detention meant that we spent time in the principal's office or were required to perform service hours for our breaking of school rules.
Detention in this case describes the excavated area to the north and east of the cache location. As a high rainfall period fills the storm drainage pipes in the street the excess water is routed into the detention basin. There is a pipe at the outlet of the detention basin which restricts the outflow of water until the storm abates and there is room in the storm drainage pipes in the street.
There is also a retention basin which holds the water until it evaporates or is soaked into the ground. This type is rarely used in an urban area because of safety issues, and mosquito breeding.
You have noticed that many of these detention basins as a part of public parks and are used for soccer fields, football fields and playgrounds.
I hope that this information will give you a better idea of detention basins and their use.
The container is a pill bottle with another container inside which holds the log. BYOP.
Another FTF for bossmanron.
