On-site stormwater detention – OSD has been constructed in big Brazilian cities, as a way to reduce the impact of urbanization on the drainage system. However, there are a few studies about its efficiency in real scale. This article aims to compare the monitoring data of an OSD built in a hospital in Belo Horizonte and the results determined by theoretical methods, commonly used in the design of this structure. Inside the OSD was installed a level sensor to monitor water level during rain events. The data was recorded on a data logger every 30 seconds during the period April 2015 to March 2017. It was analyzed the OSD filling during the occurrence of 48 precipitation events. In the maximum heights of water level comparison, it was found that the monitored values were higher than theoretical values and the results using Rational Method were closer to monitoring data than the results with SCS-HU Method. It was also found that the peak and recession time calculated with Rational Method represented better the water levels monitored.
