This spreadsheet allows calculation of drainage time assuming one dimensional drainage under zero head conditions, mean head conditions and falling head conditions. It provides a conservative estimate of drainage time for the purposes of groundwater mounding analysis, where shorter drainage times cause a greater impact.

To model the extent of groundwater mounding beneath an infiltration facility use the tool below to determine if there is potential for interaction between groundwater levels and the base of the practice during drainage. This tool uses Hantush's derivation (1967).
