Abstract: The differences between the performance of on-line and off-line tanks and the influence of the characteristics of different catchments have been examined. According to the results of the simulations detention tanks resulted an effective system to prevent water pollution of receiving water bodies in urban areas, even if the differences between the catchments, especially regard to the first flush effect, influence the performance of the tanks. Abstract: The performance of detention tanks with different characteristics (volume, on-line and off-line arrangement) has been evaluated according to the results of a continuous simulation. Themodel COSMOSS has been used to simulate the operation of the tanks.
