Filter efficiency (e) can be reasonably estimated as 0.9 pending manufacturer’s information.

In a study of three sites in Ontario, STEP found the annual C<sub>vol, A</sub> of the rooftops to be around 0.8 [http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/home/urban-runoff-green-infrastructure/low-impact-development/rainwater-harvesting/performance-evaluation-of-rainwater-harvesting-systems-toronto-ontario/]. This figure includes losses to evaporation, snow being blown off the roof, and number of overflow events.<br>
