L
Length, e.g. of a reach, channel or swale (usually in m)
m
run of side slopes in channel cross sections (length, but usually expressed as a ratio in relation to rise. e.g. where side side slopes = 1:3.5, m = 3.5)
q
infiltration rate in (length per time, usually mm/hr) (before or after application of safety factor?)
Ra
Existing rise of swale gradient (length, usually m)
Rb
Rise of compensation gradient for an enhanced swale (length, usually m)
