For practices with soft (i.e. landscaped) edges and bowl-shaped ponding areas calculate the mean ponding depth:
For practices with soft (i.e. landscaped) edges and bowl-shaped ponding areas calculate the mean surface ponding depth:
<math>d_{p}'=d_{p, max}\times 1/2</math>
<math>d_{p}'=d_{p, max}\times 1/2</math>
For practices with hard edges and vertical-walled ponding areas (e.g., stormwater planter, soil cell) use the maximum ponding depth (d<sub>p, max</sub>)
