    Hey, great video, but wanted to make 2 nit picky corrections. I’m a engineer in Florida and design storm ponds for a living. According to the water management districts that regulate storm water a retention pond is a dry pond and a detention pond is a wet pond. Retention/detention has to do with the water quality volume of the pond. A dry pond “retains” the water quality volume and infiltrates it into the ground. A wet pond “detains” the water and slowly lets it out through a pipe. The wet portion of a detention pond is just the groundwater thats exposed by removing the dirt.
    Also you mentioned that ponds can connect to a sewer system, but it is illegal for a storm water pond to connect to a sanitary sewer system. Many years ago this type of connection was possible, but through the EPA’s Clean Water Act those type of sysems have been phased out.
    These are super nit picky details that would only mater to an engineer, but you seem so detail oriented in all your videos thought I’d pass this along. Again great video, thanks for all your hard work!

    “Are you going to pay attention to a pond along the side of the road?” It’s FL. If I’m in the passenger seat, I’m paying attention. There could be gators over there, and since that’s not typically something I see every day, I’m looking.

    Retention ponds are not about flood control and are about retaining water on the land so that it can filter into the aquifer below. If it was allowed to run off, then the aquifer would run dry and sinkholes would be a SERIOUS problem across Central Florida (more than now). For every square yard of concrete, you cover the soil with, you have to have so many cubic yards of retention capacity.

    Can you do a video on all the odd and strange animals found around DisneyWorld? Not sure if they were someone’s pets that got out or what the deal was but when we had breakfast at Fort Wilderness back in 2013 there were 2 monkeys that looked like Marcel from friends (capuchin monkeys) walking across the road right in front of Trails End Restaurant. With my best dad joke at the time I told my son to look because we must be eating at the Tails End restaurant. He just shook his head in disapproval like most kids do after an amazing dad joke and told me to stop monkeying around lol I couldn’t have been more proud at that moment. Fittingly ever since that day our family refers to that restaurant as the Tails End.

    I'm surprised you didn't delve into the water management portions.
    Like how when the property was initially prepared, all the storm water control systems were passive / unpowered or use footage from an old epcot magazine where they did a small amount of filming from the rcid command and control center

    Hey Rob, since The Mighty Ducks are coming back, you should do a video about Disney and the Anaheim sports market. Walt Disney was involved with the Hollywood Stars and Anaheim Angels baseball teams. And of course Disney getting in the NHL with the Ducks. And how it was all used to make Anaheim a vacation destination

    Great video Rob! From what I could put together from this video, once a body of water like a ditch or borrow gets traffic on it, it moves to a higher classification. A ditch becomes a (closed circuit) canal, a borrow becomes a lake, etc.

    I don't know about other bodies, but I learned recently that RCID has (some) control over the level of the water in the World Showcase Lagoon / Crescent Lake / canal that leads to Hollywood Studios. For example, when they're expecting a large rain storm, they drain much of the water to accommodate runoff from the park and surrounding areas. Only problem being is if it doesn't rain as much as they thought, the water level stays low for a while since it's harder to fill than to drain.

Futuristic concept trucks that transformed into stages with displays that would visit small towns across America during their state fairs and other events, showcasing advances in technology and most specifically what GM and Chevrolet was doing for you.

    Love to "geek out" on some Rob. Yes! I dooo think of bodies of water. Being from Houston, TX. ((Bayou City) I'm 3/10th mile from Simms Bayou. Remember Hurricane Harvey 2017??? While "my bayou" was 12 ft. from over topping (Thank God was widen & deepened) A sudden "frog chocker" can send your car a flooding. Even in Nov. I've experienced a shower or 2 in Fla. Don't get me started on ditches. Remember scene one in Driving Miss Daisey? The water ways @ any Dis theme park is a marvel to behold! BTW I used rain water for "closet flush" after Houston's Winter Storm. Yeah! calculating how much water per flush. OyyyyveYYY!!!

      Don't quoat me on that though I'm just guessing, maybe there is something like that in large forrrests. Look at Florida on Google earth its a lot of water. 57 lakes in the city limits of Orlando and thats just in the city! I live on a big chain of lakes behind Disney called the butler chain.
