Stage Storage Depth Calculator

Stage Storage Depth Calculator

Calculate the depth of stage storage in a retention/detention pond using the stage-storage relationship.
Stage-Storage Relationship: \(\displaystyle V = a\, h^b\)
Solved for depth: \(\displaystyle h = \left(\frac{V}{a}\right)^{\frac{1}{b}}\)

* Enter the storage volume \(V\) (ft³), coefficient \(a\), and exponent \(b\).

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 5000 ft³

Example: 1000

Example: 1.5

Formula used:
\(\displaystyle V = a\, h^b \quad \Rightarrow \quad h = \left(\frac{V}{a}\right)^{\frac{1}{b}}\)
