Vegetated filter strips are found within the LID toolbox
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. Suggested range for mown grass (dependent on density) 0.03 – 0.06 [1]
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) ?
