Description
Retention Basin 3m deep by [SSU]yenyang

Required Mod
Rainfall

The Retention Basin assets are free, no maintenance, and can be placed anywhere. They will spawn water to represent ground water up to the depth in the title. The are perfect for creating ponds and lakes in your city and will rise and fall with incoming storm water when using Rainfall.

It is very important that the water can reach the depth of the "ground water" becuase the asset will continue to produce water at increasing rates until it does. Make sure you built the bowl of the lake before you put the asset into it.

You should be able to alter the height of the ground water with Page Up/Page Down. The water rises much faster than it falls.

These are very helpful in alleviating Land Value Spikes which is an inherent issue with the Rainfall Mod.

I will also update the image so it isn't a big green blob.

@oshawotta737 Just turn the settings in rainfall to not produce runoff. Like there's a "Global Runoff Factor" or something set that to 0 and you won't get any runoff but these will still work. These assets require a mod to do the coding, and that mod is currently Rainfall, but you don't need to use every aspect of Rainfall to get them to work.

Is there a way to make this work without rainfall?

It seems to be working fine, now. Thanks for the update. I'll let you know if any other problems come up

I patched the mod to fix the water check functions. Let me know about any other issues after you have received the latest update.

@BillyShabindigo Thanks for letting me know, I will look into it.

Don't know what happened with these, but, since the update, it just floods over the land and PG DN won't let you lower below the land level
