Continuous grade capacity curves only apply when street flow is at the<br />

maximum allowable depth. For lower gutter depths, the inlet<br />

interception rate will decrease.<br />

<strong>SW7</strong>.05 Gutter Flow<br />

1. Introduction<br />

The capacity <strong>of</strong> gutter flow in curbed pavement helps determine proper<br />

inlet casting and inlet spacing designs. Many factors affect the flow<br />

capacity <strong>of</strong> gutters. These factors work together to provide a safe limit<br />

on stormwater encroachment into driving lanes and parking areas.<br />
