On densely developed sites, the surface area of the practice may be constrained. In such cases the required storage reservoir depth, d<sub>r</sub> of the bioretention cell or infiltration trench can be calculated based on available surface area.

Note that in most cases the results of this calculation will be very similar to those from the equation below assuming 3 dimensional drainage.

In many locations throughout Ontario, there may be limited depth of soil available into which stormwater may be infiltrated. In this case the required storage needs to be distributed more widely across the landscape. The area of the storage reservoir, A<sub>r</sub> can be calculated:
