To minimize the total depth of the practice, d<sub>T</sub>, and save aggregate, consider installing void-forming structures (e.g. Permavoid, D-Raintank, low profile stormwater chamber, large diameter perforated pipes etc.) embedded in clear stone aggregate in the storage reservoir instead of aggregate alone, which will provide a greater effective porosity (n').
