The governing relationship

Runoff volume = rainfall depth × area × runoff coefficient; 1 mm·m² = 1 L

What the result cannot decide

Screening geometry only. Design storms, infiltration, routing, soil, climate and local drainage criteria require a qualified site method.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the complete example closest to the environmental scenario.
  2. Replace every value and factor with compatible, current measurements.
  3. Review units, geography, time basis and limitations before further use.

Calculation method

Transparent environmental arithmetic

Runoff volume = rainfall depth × area × runoff coefficient; 1 mm·m² = 1 L

No hidden location, emission factor, regulatory threshold or environmental grade is inserted.

Worked example

Three complete starting scenarios

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Method boundary

Screening geometry only. Design storms, infiltration, routing, soil, climate and local drainage criteria require a qualified site method.

No compliance conclusion

A calculated value does not certify compliance, safety, sustainability or ecosystem condition.

Factor provenance

Location- and year-dependent factors must be checked against a maintained authoritative source.
