For practices with underdrains elevated in the storage reservoir profile:
For practices with underdrains elevated off the bottom of the storage reservoir profile:
<math>d_{p, max}= depth of storage reservoir below invert of the underdrain perforated pipe.<br>
d<sub>p, max</sub>= depth of storage reservoir below invert of the underdrain perforated pipe.<br>
For practices with underdrain on base of the storage reservoir and connected to a riser (e.g., standpipe and 90 degree coupling):
For practices with underdrain on base of the storage reservoir and connected to a riser (e.g., standpipe and 90 degree coupling):

For practices with soft (i.e. landscaped) edges and bowl-shaped ponding areas calculate the mean ponding depth:
For practices with soft (i.e. landscaped) edges and bowl-shaped ponding areas calculate the mean ponding depth:
