The following approximations
Five percent of the average annual yield can be estimated:
Five percent of the average annual yield can be estimated:
<math>Y_{0.05} = A_{c} \times C_{vol,A}\times R_{a} \times e \times 0.05</math>
<math>Y_{0.05} = A_{c} \times C_{vol,A}\times R_{a} \times e \times 0.05</math>

Then the following calculations are based upon two criteria:
Then the following calculations are based upon two criteria:
−
#A design rainfall depth is to be captured entirely by the RWH system.

# A design rainfall depth is to be captured entirely by the RWH system.

#The average annual demand (''D'') is greater than the average annual yield (''Y'') from the catchment.

# The average annual demand (''D'') is greater than the average annual yield (''Y'') from the catchment.
When \(Y_{0.05}/D_{0.05}<0.33\), the storage volume required can be estimated:
When \(Y_{0.05}/D_{0.05}<0.33\), the storage volume required can be estimated:
<math>V_{S} = A_{c} \times C_{vol,E}\times R_{d} \times e</math>
<math>V_{S} = A_{c} \times C_{vol,E}\times R_{d} \times e</math>
