For example a 3 inch per hour rainfall will build up to a 3 inch depth on a flat roof in one hour at the rate of 1 87 gallons per hour sq.
Gallons per square foot of roof.
To calculate the runoff from any given rainfall.
So a 50 x 20 roof is 600 x 240 multiply the roof dimensions by the number of inches of rainfall.
1 inch of rainfall in an hour will cover 1 sq ft.
To a depth of 1 in 1 hour.
4 ft 2.
Rainwater can be collected from the roofs using the rain water harvesting method.

Up to 6 12 7 12 8 12.
Where rainfall rate is expressed in inches per hour and roof area is given in square feet.
The answer is about 623 gallons.
Sq ft safe for maximum rainfall reduce by 10 per 90 degree turn.

The collectable rainwater from the roof can be calculated in gallons using this calculator based on the rainfall and area.
Using a 10 000 sq.
Max area of roof draining to one down.
Take a guess what is the volume of water that runs off a 1 000 square foot roof during a 1 rain storm.
