===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....:
