| Surface | |
|---|---|
| Berm height (mm) | This is the height of the curb which constrains the overland sheet flow of water. Where the bottom of the slope discharges directly into another LID facility without impedance, the value is 0. |
| Surface roughness (Manning’s n) | Lower numbers indicate less surface obstruction and result in faster flow. See Turf |
| Surface slope (%) | If the slope > 3%, consider using level spreaders to reduce erosion of the surface under high flow velocities. |
| Soil (native underlying soil, or amended topsoil) | |
| Thickness (mm) | If topsoil has been amended Absorbent landscapes |
| Porosity (fraction) | Suggest range 0.35 – 0.4, unless otherwise tested |
| Field capacity (fraction) | Will vary according to native or amended topsoil[1] |
| Wilting point (fraction) | |
| Conductivity (mm/hr) | |
| Conductivity slope | |
| Suction head (mm) | |
| Design drawdown time (hrs) | Will be determined by regulatory authority, usually 48 - 73 hours to reduce nuisance from Mosquitoes |
