Where the intention is to capture only a proportion of the flow, the ratio of flow entering the crub inlet may be calculated::

A curb cut of 0.25 m is proposed as an inlet for an offline bioretention cell receiving runoff from an adjacent roadway. 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.
