Depends on your soil type but 50.8 mm or 2 inch per hour is considered normal. +- **Drainage rate**: set the drainage rate of a zone. Use this only if you have drainage problems. You will need to do some experimentation to see what value works for you. Too low of a value are your drainage problem is not solved, too high of a value and the effects of the evapotranspiration calculation has little to no impact. Keep in mind that the values quoted on the internet (around 50.8 mm or 2 inch per hour) for drainage rates are dependent on your soil type and are for fully saturated soil only. - **State**: - _Automatic_: Automatic updating and calculation of that zone. [module](configuration-modules.md) and [sensor group](configuration-sensor-groups.md) is mandatory. - _Manual_: Only manual updating and calculation of that zone. No [module](configuration-modules.md) and [sensor group](configuration-sensor-groups.md) is required.
