Control of coupled hydrology and pollutant transport from urban areas generally specify a runoff (or rainfall) depth for treatment. Incarnations of such coupled transport and control include the "first flush" and recent, albeit similar, "water quality volume" (WQV) concepts. For a century the first flush, a mass limited behaviour, has been held as the singular transport phenomena for urban areas.
