EQUATIONS
D wt + Dtrench where:
Eq. 4-20 gradient = i K = saturated hydraulic conductivity, in feet/day
78( K 0 .05 ) Dwt = depth from the base of the infiltration trench to the water table or to the
first low-permeability layer, in feet
Dtrench = depth of water in the trench, in feet

where:
Eq. 4-16 f =0.5 Ki f = specific discharge or infiltration rate of water through a unit cross-section of the
infiltration facility
K = hydraulic conductivity
i =gradient for ponds and trenches at sites with shallow water tables, or a value of
approximately 1 for ponds and trenches at sites with deep water tables

Eq. 4-21 f corr =(CF silt/bio )f where:

CFsilt/bio = correction factor for siltation and biofouling
f = uncorrected infiltration rate
