Agreement is best at the smallest flow depth for the Type 13 <strong>and</strong> 16 inlets. This is due to the test<br />

conditions <strong>of</strong> the original FHWA model described previously which only tested to a maximum<br />

depth <strong>of</strong> 0.45 ft. For the Type R curb inlet, agreement is best at a high-flow depth.<br />
