box plot of nine documented bioretention media

Bioretention filter media may be assumed to have a storage capacity of 0.4.

This has been calculated as the difference between the media porosity and field capacity from a number of studies.

  1. Marine sand: 0.51 - 0.06 = 0.45 [1]
  2. Marine sand with 10 % compost: 0.51 - 0.11 = 0.40 [1]
  3. Marine sand with 20 % compost: 0.53 - 0.12 = 0.41 [1]
  4. Marine sand with 20 % compost & 20 % topsoil: 0.52 - 0.16 = 0.36 [1]
  5. Sand: 0.46 - 0.1 = 0.36 [2]
  6. NC sandy bioretention mix: 0.47 - 0.07 = 0.40 [3]
  7. Bioretention soil I: 0.71 - 0.1 = 0.61 [4]
  8. Bioretention soil II: 0.52 - 0.1 = 0.42 [4]
  9. M minus mean θini: 0.76 - 0.32 = 0.44 [5]:
