NC-2009 SSc6.1: Stormwater Design—Quantity Control
Hi,
In simple terms, is there a difference between 'discharge rate' and 'run off'? We are currently assessing our site to determine which case and path to follow. Discharge rate is the terminology used in case 1 option 1, run off is used in case 2.
Thanks,
Sean

Run off is simply describing the stormwater that "runs off."
Stormwater runs off with a rate (cf/sec), and a quantity or volume (cf).
