Controlled surface hydrology

Controlled surface hydrology refers to the addition of activities and/or structures (e.g., bunds, pumps, etc.) consistent with water storage usage where surface hydrological flows are controlled. Typically, wetlands with controlled surface hydrology are semi-enclosed structures with pump facilities.
