The 2 year, 24-hour design storm precipitation data is unavailable for the country. However, Historic rainfall data exists.
Using that data, we will calculate the maximum runoff rate and subsequently try to manage the entire rainwater the site is receiving through draining the stormwater into the natural cavities found on our site and these cavities will act as natural percolating tanks.
We are aware that the capacity of water absorption of these cavities should be tested.
However, assuming that the cavities are enough to receive the runoff water volume.
Would that make us compliant with the credit intent?

Make sure you clearly document your methodology for determining the rainfall depth.

We will use local data showing the monthly average precipitation in (mm), from that table we will chose the month showing the highest precipitation level and we will design accordingly.
