<p>On a roof pitched to the outside it depends if there is aparapet or not. With parapet the drain opening limits the flow rate. Without the water just overruns the roof edge.</p> <p>With floating top tank you have a parapet without any openings as the roof level varies with amount of stored liquid. So the roof's drainage has to be sufficient:<br /><a href="http://www.ansonindustry.com/uploads/allimg/Floatingrooftankstructure.jpg">http://www.ansonindustry.com/uploads/allimg/Floatingrooftankstructure.jpg</a></p> <p>So all depends on the rainfall it is designed for. And I'm quite sure it wasn't designed for Harvey's rainfall.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
