146. The suspended matter reduction performance is established using equation 4-19 if water input to the grassed ditch is evenly distributed over the length of the ditch.where: | P | = | Suspended matter reduction performance (%); |
| V | = | Average water flow speed (m/s); |
| L | = | Length of the grassed ditch (m). |
Where the length of the ditch, L, is less than the product of the average water flow speed, V, multiplied by 600 seconds, V x 600, the suspended matter reduction performance, P, is 0%.
