In the context of rainwater drainage, the computation of design flow rate can be categorised into the following:
- Effective plan catchment
- Elevation catchment (for wind driven rain)
Design flow rate  Effective Catchment Area
 Effective Catchment Area  X Rainfall Intensity
 X Rainfall Intensity  
The method of calculating Effective catchment areas can be referred to Catchment area (effective) (roof drainage).
