* Step 13: Adjust component depths to maintain a separation of one (1) metre between the base of the practice and the seasonally high water table or top of bedrock elevation, or a lesser or greater value based on groundwater mounding analysis.  See below and [[Groundwater]] for more information.<br>

For practices without an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider decreasing filter media depth (and adjusting supported plant types) and/or catchment impervious area.<br>

For practices with an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider installing the perforated pipe on the bottom of the storage reservoir and including a riser (saves the depth of aggregate needed to embed the pipe), and/or decreasing filter media depth (and adjusting supported plant types), storage reservoir depth and/or catchment impervious area.<br>
