d
Depth e.g. of an infiltration practice (units of length, usually m)
f
Eh?
L
Length, e.g. of a reach, channel or swale (usually in m)
m
run of side slopes in channel cross sections (length, but usually expressed as a ratio in relation to rise. e.g. where side side slopes = 1:3.5, m = 3.5)
q
infiltration rate in (length per time, usually mm/hr) (before or after application of safety factor?)
Qp
Peak flow in units of volume per time (e.g. m3/s)
Ra
Existing rise of swale gradient (length, usually m)
Rb
Rise of compensation gradient for an enhanced swale (length, usually m)
S
Slope
SCF
Safety correction factor (dimensionless)
y
Depth of water (length, usually m or sometimes mm)
