<tr><td>Bioretention with storage</td><td>yes</td><td>yes</td><td>-</td><td>By raising the outlet of the discharge pipe the bottom portion of the BMP can only drain through infiltration. This creates a fluctuating anaerobic/aerobic environment which promotes denitrification. Increasing the period of storage has benefits for promoting infiltration, but also improves water quality for catchments impacted with nitrates. A complimentary technique is to use fresh wood mulch, which also fosters denitrifying biological processes. </td><td>yes</td>yes</td><td>-</td><td>Image</td></tr>
