An above ground water storage device includes a plurality of modular walls coupled together in series to form a substantially continuous perimeter. Each of the plurality of modular walls includes a wall panel that is inclinable with respect to a horizontal orientation, and a support base that is coupled to a portion of the wall panel. A liner covers an internal side of the plurality of modular walls and an area encompassed by the continuous perimeter. At least one modular corner wall is positioned with the plurality of modular wall panels to form a corner in the substantially continuous perimeter. The at least one modular corner wall has an angled side with an angle corresponding to the inclined angle of an adjacent modular wall.

What is claimed is: 1. An above ground water storage device, comprising: a) a plurality of modular walls, coupled together in series to form a substantially continuous perimeter, each of the plurality of modular walls further including: i) a wall panel, inclined with respect to a horizontal orientation at an inclined angle; and ii) a support base, coupled to an A-frame portion of the wall panel the A-frame support base, including two legs defining a horizontal A-frame shape with a proximal end of each leg adjacent each other and a distal end of each leg spaced apart from one another, a cross brace extending between the legs intermediate the proximal and distal ends, and a truss having an upper leg member and a lower leg member with the upper leg member extending upward along the inclined wall panel and the lower leg member coupled to one of the A-frame legs; b) a liner, covering an internal side of the plurality of modular walls and an area encompassed by the continuous perimeter; and c) at least one modular corner wall, positioned with the plurality of modular wall panels to form a corner in the substantially continuous perimeter, the at least one modular corner wall having an angled side with an angle substantially the same as the angle of the inclined angle of an adjacent modular wall, and a non-angled side coupleable together in series with one of the plurality of modular walls. 2. A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the inclined angle between the wall panel and the support base is adjustable so as to position the wall panel at a predetermined angle with respect to the support base in response to a desired volume of water to be retained by the above ground storage device. 3. A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein each support base is moveable between a storage position in which the support base and wall panel are substantially parallel and adjacent one another, and an inclined position in which the wall panel forms an inclined angle with the support base, and further includes a brace, disposable between the wall panel and the support base to secure the wall panel and the support base in the inclined position. 4. A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the support base and wall panel are pivotally coupled together and pivotal between a storage position and an inclined position. 5. A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the wall panels include a corrugated wall membrane disposed on a frame. 6. A device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the plurality of modular walls and liner form a portable retention pond. 7. A device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising an opening associated with one of the wall panels and the liner, the opening being sized and shaped to allow water to fill or drain from the above ground water storage device. 8. A device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a cover, sized and shaped to fit over the above ground storage device. 9. An above ground water storage device, comprising: a) a plurality of modular walls, coupled together in series to form a substantially continuous perimeter, each of the plurality of modular walls further including: i) a wall panel, inclinable with respect to a horizontal orientation at an inclined angle; and ii) a support base, coupleable to an A-frame portion of the wall panel, the support base further including: (1) two legs defining a horizontal A-frame shape with a proximal end of each leg adjacent each other and a distal end of each leg spaced apart from one another; (2) a cross brace extending between the legs intermediate the proximal and distal ends; and (3) a truss having an upper leg member and a lower leg member with the upper leg member extending upward along the inclined wall panel and the lower leg member coupled to one of the A-frame legs; b) a liner, covering an internal side of the plurality of modular walls and an area encompassed by the continuous perimeter; and c) at least one modular corner wall, positioned with the plurality of modular wall panels to form a corner in the substantially continuous perimeter, the at least one modular corner wall having an angled side with an angle corresponding to the angle of the inclined angle of an adjacent modular wall.
