Which report should be used to estimate the water storage capacity of a site?

Water Storage Assessment Report
Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds Technical Report (TR) 55
Small Watershed Management Report
Hydrology Assessment Report

The correct answer is: Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds Technical Report (TR) 55

The Urban Hydrology for Small Watersheds Technical Report (TR) 55 is a widely recognized document that provides methodologies for estimating the hydrologic response of small watersheds. This report includes detailed procedures for calculating runoff, infiltration, and water storage capacity within a given area. It serves as a fundamental resource for understanding how water behaves in urban settings, particularly regarding stormwater management and watershed planning. Using this report allows practitioners to evaluate the stormwater storage capacity effectively, which is crucial for designing sustainable developments that comply with LEED BD+C standards. The report’s emphasis on hydrologic principles makes it the go-to option for accurate assessments of water storage capacity, ensuring that building designs meet both environmental regulations and LEED credit requirements.
