    Notes:
  • Void factor = 0.25 inch
  • Rainfall volumes (inches per square foot) is the same as Design Rainfall Event if only rainfall falling directly upon the surface is calculated.
  • Clay soil factor is used to determine conservative storage numbers with no allowances for exfiltration into subsoils below the pavement.
  • Storage volumes are based upon the same principles of water stored in the void spaces of gravel or stone chambers, approximately 40% in stone greater than 0.25 inch in diameter.
