In the context of rainwater drainage, the computation of design flow rate can be categorised into the following:

  1. Effective plan catchment
  2. Elevation catchment (for wind driven rain)

Design flow rate (l/s) = Effective Catchment Area (m.sq.) x Rainfall Intensity (mm/hr) / 3600

The method of calculating Effective catchment areas can be referred to LINK Catchment Topic
