In the latest revision to the Code of Practice on Surface Water Drainage, PUB added a new clause, which required developers/owners to manage their peak runoff by implementing on-site detention measures to hold back or slow down runoff, before discharging it to the public drainage system.

To provide guidance to QPs on the design of detention tanks to manage peak runoff, PUB has developed a set of technical guidelines.
