Manufacturers of perforated pipe are often able to provide the open area (m2) per meter length.
Where:
- Km is the hydraulic conductivity of the filter media (mm/hr),
- Ap is the area of the practice (m2),
- dp is the depth of ponding (mm),
- dm is the depth of the filter media (mm), and
- Σ d is the total depth of bioretention components over the perforated pipe (mm) (e.g. ponding/mulch/filter media/choker layer),
