===Expected Performance===
*Relative to a surface draw outlet, the expected 95th percentile temperature reduction provided by a 2 m deep draw outlet for years with similar air temperatures is between 3 and 5⁰C.
*Water drained from outlets 2m below the surface will typically be less than 24°C at least 95% of the time.
