#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.

When Y<sub>0.05</sub>/ D<sub>0.05</sub> < 0.33, the storage volume required can be estimated:

*When Y<sub>0.05</sub>/ D<sub>0.05</sub> < 0.33, the storage volume required can be estimated:
*<strong>V<sub>S</sub> = A × C<sub>vol</sub> × R<sub>d</sub> × e</strong>
*V<sub>S</sub> = Storage volume required (L)
*A = The catchment area (m<sup>2</sup>)
*C<sub>vol, E</sub> = The design storm runoff coefficient for the catchment
/*Good catchment selection means that the runoff coefficient, for a rainstorm event (C<sub>vol, E</sub>) should be 0.9 or greater.

When 0.33 < Y<sub>0.05</sub>/ D<sub>0.05</sub>< 0.7, the total storage required can be estimated by adding Y<sub>0.05</sub>:
