===Example calculation===

A [[stormwater planter]] with footprint of 8 x 1.5 m is planned to received runoff from an adjacent rooftop. The initial design for the planters includes 750 mm depth of filter medium, 50 mm rock mulch, and a further ponding of 300 mm. The underdrain pipe will be embedded into high performance bedding or similar, with a strip of geotextile over the top to prevent migration of the filter media into the pipe. The lab test states that the medium has a hydraulic conductivity of 25 mm/hr. The maximum flow through the medium will be calculated and a comparison made with the maximum flow through the pipe to see....:

<math>Q_{max}=\frac{25 mm/hr\times 12\ m^{2}\times \left (\frac{1.1\ m}{0.75\ m}  \right )}{3600\ s/hr}</math>

<math>Q_{max}=\frac{25 mm/hr\times 12\ m^{2}\times \left (\frac{1.1\ m}{0.75\ m}  \right )}{3600\ s/hr}=0.12\ L/s</math>
