Surface Catchment Loads

The surface catchment load includes rational loading (areas, rational coefficients, and time of concentration) from the local catchment.

Note: This load may also include an additional load representing a fixed flow that contributes to the gutter flow approaching the inlet (similar to subsurface external loads). Note that supplementary rational gutter loads that are not part of the Drainage and Utilities system can be accounted for simply as another sub-catchment area and C coefficient.
