The following equation assumes one dimensional drainage over the surface ponding area.
The following equation assumes one dimensional drainage over the surface ponding area.
It is best applied to calculate the maximum duration of ponding on the surface of [[bioretention cells]], and upstream of check dams of [[bioswales]] and [[enhanced grass swales]] to ensure all surface ponding drains within 48 hours.
