Detention basin with catch basin for discharge
Detention basin with catch basin for discharge
(OP)
I two detention basins with a catch basin in each one. When the stormwater gets to a certain elevation it will discharge into a rectangular opening in the side of the catch basin. I had the size of the rectangular opening as 10" high x 6" wide and the primary cfs was 6.14. If I make the opening larger shouldn't my cfs increase because more stormwater can enter the catch basin and leave through the pipe?
