Time Area Diagram in m2 for Green Roof Runoff Method

Change the units for the area column in the time area diagram to m2 (or have the ability for user to change the units between m2 and ha). When using time area diagram, as per the Green Roof Runoff Method (link below), it results in areas of 0.001 ...
