There have been many studies done in this area. If you will get the US
publication: "Urban Runoff Quality Management" from the American Society of
Civil Engineers (you can order it off the WEB at
http://www.pubs.asce.org/BOOKdisplay.cgi?9802392 )you will find that it will
address this issue, plus direct you to a wealth of other publications on
this subject. You might also look on the Internet on www.txnpsbook.org/
While this web page is oriented toward the state of Texas, most of it
applies to all places, since Texas varies from high annual rainfall in the
eastern part of the state to less that 75 mm of rainfall annually in the
most westerly part.
Good Luck...LAR

Subject: build up in urban basins
Hi all
I would like know if anybody has been concerned with the problem of the
accumulation on an urban basin never, and more particularly, if he/she has
stayed valued the possibility of an asymptotic course of the accumulation
with increase of the dry time, or a course always increasing, or straight
decreasing, having held in account also the casualties cause from the wind
and from the traffic (for example); in each case I would like know if
anybody (admitting an asymptotic course of the accumulation) he/she has
conducted a study never for appraise what values of dry time go well to
consider the basin to the his maximum state of accumulation.
Thank you very much!!
Costanza Aricò
