impoundage
Detained property quantity
Impoundage is the act of impounding or the state of being impounded—the seizure and holding of property, animals, or water by an authority.
The term also refers to the body of water held back by a dam or similar structure: The impoundage behind the new dam flooded several hundred acres.
Less common than impoundment, which covers the same ground.
