Design rain

The design rain donation is a parameter for calculating the amount of rainwater that occurs . Canals or other sewage and infiltration systems must not show any overloads for a design rain donation. A common regulation for planning according to DIN 1986-100: 2007-04 is that the design rain donation for roof drainage is a rain event with a statistical frequency of 5 years and a rain duration of 5 minutes.

This is represented with the designation r (D; T). In the case of a rain event with a frequency of 5 years T and a duration D of 5 minutes, the display is in the following form: r (5; 5). The unit of design rain is liters per second and hectare. An average value for Germany is 311 liters per second and hectare (this corresponds to 111.96 liters per hour and square meter).
