==Infiltration of surface ponding time==
The following equation assumes that infiltration occurs primarily through the footprint of the facility.
It is best applied to calculate the limited duration ponding on the surface of [[bioretention cells]], [[bioswales]] and [[enhanced grass swales]].
To calculate the time (''t'') to fully drain the facility through the footprint area only:
<math>t=\frac{nd}{K}</math>
