Friction Loss for gravity fed rainwater downspouts/pipes?

[QUOTE="tnich, post: 6044778, member: 639870"] I think you have a couple of choices here: 1) you can over-design your system so that it will never back up, or 2) you can build an overflow capability into the system so that when the water backs up to a specific height, the excess water drains off into the storm sewer or someplace down-hill. If you have 100 GPM flow from your roof, your tank will fill up quickly anyway, so you will need an overflow built into the tank, too. [/QUOTE]
