People completely miss this. They think just adding a pond will take care of it. But, those cow pastures soak up a lot of water. Concrete and rooftops shed it way too fast.
Designed correctly a pond is supposed to offset the fill placed in an area. Now the ponds have to be engineered correctly, maintained and kept to their original size and depth.

I don't get how a pond is supposed to work unless the pond was kept empty. So, more like a pit.

I just don't think we are appropriately accounting for all the variables. How much water did previous land hold and absorb? The water that did run off, how fast did it run off at once? Too much money is involved. Developers, Engineers, Property Taxes for Local Govt.
There are zero checks and balances. Are citizens really going to go hire attorneys and engineers to test every plan submitted? No.
Always follow the Incentives.
