Where:

  • L is the length of perforated pipe (m)
  • B is the clogging factor (between 0.5 (for matured installation) and 1 (for a new perfectly performing BMP)),
  • Cd is the coefficient of discharge (usually 0.61 for a plate, or 0.8 for a pipe),
  • Ao is the area of the orifice (m2/m),
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2, and
  • h is the head of water over the centre of the orifice.
