Even if you are stuck with using a water system or a water/foam
system take a good look at the Compressed Air Foam sprinkler systems
out of Canada that have just recently garnered UL listing and FM
approval. These happen to address the containment and curbing issues
by using a miniscule application rate compared to the other systems.

Section 6.4.2.5 deals with curbs, scuppers, special drains, ect....and

If there is only curbs does this apply since there is technically no
drains? If so, what is the proper way to determine the expected
discharge?
