Explanation:
(At the risk of enraging fellow peers by answering a multi-item question!)

all stormwater quality BMP’s must be designed to treat the one-year rain event.

"A one-year rain event is 2.7 inches. To get a 50-year rain event we would have only had to have less than a half inch more."

Die Kanalisation wird nach einem sogenannten „Berechnungsregen“ bemessen, der gebietsmäßig festgelegt ist. Dieser Berechnungsregen ist ein Starkregen, der aber ein oder mehrere Male im Jahr überschritten werden kann.

neutral  Alan Johnson: Not exactly enraged, but not happy. When peers have indicated that terms should be posted individually and the asker shows no inclination to comply, you should encourage by answering.
17 hrs
  -> "When peers have indicated..." Two in this case plus yourself. Well, Alan, you apparently feel that it would have been better to snub the Asker. I don't agree and I don't regret having answered ONE term (and indicated where the other terms could be found)
