The point? There isn't one.

There's gona have to be a hole dug to make a retension pond.
That hole should be lower than the surrounding roads/houses
Contact city to get size needed for code.
done.
At least I didn't say "lets have the retension pond above the land and pump water up to it."

They don't have pipes where you live? I guess if everyone dug a hole in their front yards to use as "retention" ponds you wouldn't need to design anything.

The point is that give me any occupation from ditch digger to brain surgeon and I can belittle it and diminish the responsibilities and duties down to one or two basic steps. That would exhibit both arrogance and ignorance and is quite honestly, below me to do so. I don't know what you do for a living but I would be willing to bet that I know more about what you do and could do more of what you do than the reverse case.....

I would bet against you.

but feel free to tell the world what you do for a living and let me embarass myself by exposing how little I know.
And since an actual bet would probably violate the policies of this site, let's just have some fun with it.....
