Detention Volume Preliminary

Estimates the required stormwater detention storage volume using a simplified triangular inflow hydrograph with constant outflow, as commonly applied in preliminary site drainage design per TR-55 and local council requirements. Computes the volume difference between post-development peak inflow and the allowable release rate over the storm duration, and derives an approximate basin surface area from a nominated design depth.
