Estimating the amount of rainfall that can fall onto a parking lot such as this one on Mercer University's campus is an important step for design considerations. Engineers must account for the precipitation in order to adequately drain it effectively. Too much rainwater left standing can render a parking lot useless and even inaccessible. The first step in properly designing the removal of water would of course be knowing how much water to expect in a storm.
