Explicit Equation for Estimating Storm-Water Capture Efficiency of Rain Gardens

Rain gardens have increasingly been used to control the adverse effects of urbanization on storm-water quantity and quality. The ratio or percentage of storm water generated from the contributing area of a rain garden that is captured by the surface depression of the rain garden is known as its storm-water capture efficiency. This capture efficiency is an important indicator of a rain garden’s performance for storm-water management. Based on …
