<p>Once the depth of the stone reservoir is determined the water quality volume (WQV), can be used to determine the area needed using the following equation:</p>
+
The ratio of impervious drainage area to infiltration area should be between 5:1 and 20:1 to limit the rate of accumulation of fine sediments and clogging.</p>
<br>A<sub>f</sub> = Area of facility (m<sup>2</sup>)
−
<br>WQV = Water quality volume (m<sup>3</sup>)
−
<br>d = Stone reservoir depth (m)
−
<br>V<sub>r</sub> = Void space ratio for aggregate (typically 0.4 for 50 mm clear stone)
