A curb cut of 3 m is proposed as an inlet for an offline bioretention cell receiving runoff from an adjacent roadway. The gutter and the curb are made from smooth concrete with Manning's 'n' = 0.013. The x-slope is 3% and the longitudinal slope of the road is 2%. The design storm produces flow of 0.08 m<sup>3</sup>/s.

48% of the 0.08 m<sup>3</sup>/s flow would enter the bioretenteion cell through the inlet as designed.
