→Treatment trains with runoff volume reduction facilities
[[File:Treatmenttrain TRCA.JPG|thumb|600px|Example of a generalization of utilizing a “Treatment Train Approach” illustrated here. Using [[permeable pavement]] as a source control/lot control on your business/residential property, effluent then flows into conveyance control such as an [[Exfiltration trench|exfiltration system]], used in conjunction with the minor stormwater system as shown above. and then flowing into a stormwater management pond (wet pond) for additional erosion and flood control (TRCA, n.d.

A treatment train uses a combination of lot-level or source (LID), conveyance and/or end-of-pipe practices to meet water quality, water quantity, water balance, and erosion design criteria for the site. These may be implemented to reduce the burden of facility maintenance, address a broader range of design criteria, increase overall treatment system performance, and/or control the rate of flow through downstream facilities.

These types of treatment trains are becoming more common because they can achieve multiple [[Runoff volume control targets|stormwater control]] and [[water quality|treatment objectives]]. Since wet ponds alone do not achieve stormwater water balance criteria, they must be supplemented with facilities providing runoff volume reductions to meet regulatory requirements. If site water balance objectives require control of the 90th percentile event (roughly 25 – 30 mm in most jurisdictions), the same infiltration facilities may also be used to treat the water quality storm (typically 25 mm), allowing for a [[dry pond]] or similar temporary detention facility to be used at the end-of-pipe to meet flood and erosion control criteria.
