I am trying to design an underground storage are for water detention. It will be connected to a dry detention basin that uses a discharge structure. How do I go about calculating the area of void space within a trench?

Clean Stone d50=1.5"-2.5" is commonly considered to be 40% void space.

Volume = L x W x depth x .4
