And don't forget Anthony Eden's 1/400 - surface water! So what is the right
answer? I guess of better information, I'll just take an average of all
these slopes. (discarding the value for sewage runoff. At least I hope
sewage drainage from the sundial doesn't become an issue!)

So, The List's average recommended minimum slope for sundial drainage is:
1/130  (or .76%).
