Pond Area Settings



 

Riser Top Elevation– This is the elevation at the top of the riser.

Minimum Z– This is the elevation at the top of the riser.

Maximum Z– This is the elevation at the top of the riser.

Size Pond – Checking this option allows SITEOPS to calculate the needed surface area of the pond for draining the storm water, thus the shape of the pond might change. This calculation uses the Rational Method.

Pond Inflow Crown– The distance from the riser top to the invert crown of the inflow pipe.

Riser Limit Q – This value specifies the maximum amount of water flow out of the pond

Pond Side Slope – This sets the maximum slope of the internal wall of the pond. Note, outside side slopes are set by the property boundary, unless there is a directly abutting area.

Pond Dry Storage Height – This is the distance from the top of the berm to the top of the riser. This in addition to the Riser Height sets the overall depth of the pond from the berm to the bottom of the pond.

Pond Berm Width – This value sets the wall width at the top of the pond.

Pond Riser Height – This specifies the distance from the top of the riser to the bottom of the pond.
