Water quality volume method

Equivalent to the rainfall depth in inches (using the recommended 90% cumulative frequency depth of 1.25 inches) multiplied by the volumetric runoff coefficient (Rv) for the site and the site drainage area.

“In numerical terms, it is equivalent to the rainfall depth in inches (the 90% cumulative frequency rainfall depth) multiplied by the volumetric runoff coefficient (Rv) for the site, and the site drainage area.”
