To ensure that the water storage capacity of the facility is available at the onset of a storm event, it is recommended to size the storage reservoir despth, d_r, based on the depth of water that will drain via infiltration between storm events. So d_r can be calculated as:<br>

In many locations there may be a limited depth of soil available above the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock elevation into which stormwater may be infiltrated.  In such cases the required storage needs to be distributed more widely across the landscape. <br>
