Notes 1) H/D ratio shall be maintained 0.6 to 0.8 for reservoirs and 1 to 4 for standpipe 2) Check maximum allowable nominal diameter (D) and height (H) per site conditions 3) For combined fire / service water tank, normal level is replaced by reserved fire water level 4) Resolve all "RED" cells, except fire water storage for non-fire water tanks 5) If inflow is more than outflow, residence time is with inflow closed
