===Variations of Bioretention Cells===
Below, find three alternate Bioretention cell configurations, that differ based off whether developers want the system to infiltrate incoming water fully, partially, or not at all due to sites which possess contaminated soils or shallow bedrock, and/or zero-lot-line developments (i.e. condo developments and dense urban infill).
All the images below are image map drawings from the following pages to compare side-by-side the differences between varying configurations.
