"In determining the size of a storm drain,m, a number of factors must be taken into consideration. One factor which makes sizing the storm drain difficult is the matter of predicting rainfall over a given period. Using a maximum estimate based in the 100-year hourly rainfall rate of 3-inches per hour, the approximate volume of water that will fall on a roof or surface in one hours time can be determined readily. Another factor is the pitch and the material of the roof or surface upon which the rain falls. A surface that has a pitch and smooth surface would increase the flow of water into the drain pipe."
