'Flowrate per capita will vary with local conditions. The importance of the HAR can be appreciated by reviewing the information pre- sented in Table 11-10. At a Lw of 40 rnm/d (1 gal/ft�•d), if the filter were dosed once per day, the volume of the dose would represent 217 percent of the field ca- pacity of the medium. Clearly, most of the applied liquid will move down through and out of the filter. If, on the other hand, the filter were dosed 24 times/d the vol- ume of the dose would represent about 9 percent of field capacity.
