The target [[drainage time]] for the internal storage of an infiltration facility is typically between 48 and 72 hours. <br>
The target [[drainage time]] for the internal storage of an infiltration facility is typically between 48 and 72 hours or based on the average inter-event period for the location. See [[Drainage time]] for more information about how inter-event periods vary across Ontario and to help select what is suitable for the site <br>
<br>
Try the Darcy Drainage calculator tool for estimating drainage time assuming either one or three-dimensional drainage from the practice <br>

For some geometries (e.g. particularly deep facilities or linear facilities), it preferable to account for lateral infiltration.

The 3D equation make use of the hydraulic radius (''A<sub>p''/''x''), where ''x'' is the perimeter (m) of the facility. <br>
