Because rainfall runoff increases when an undeveloped area (grass and trees) becomes a developed area (parking lots and buildings) down stream flooding is likely to occur. A detention basin is designed to catch runoff from developed areas and "detain" it so that it can be released downstream at the same rate as if the area had not been developed. It's like a funnel. It fills up faster than it empties.
