As indicated in results above velocities are less than 0.5m/s during the minor and major storm
events. This is also within the requirements for the major storm (less than 2m/s). However, scour or
damage of vegetation is unlikely as the results do not take into account the backflow effect caused
by the outlet pit and weir which will reduce velocities through the basin. Therefore the design of the
basin is appropriate to cater for inflow velocity.
