UF study: Florida's 76,000 ponds emit more carbon than they store
University of FloridaAs Florida and other states become more urbanized, an increasing number of stormwater ponds are built. Florida already has 76,000 such ponds. The newer ones emit more carbon than they store, a new University of Florida study finds. Researchers hope this finding will inform policy makers and others about when, where and how to install stormwater ponds.
