To minimize the total depth of the practice, d<sub>T</sub>, and save aggregate, consider installing void-producing structures (e.g. Permavoid, D-Raintank, low profile stormwater chamber, perforated pipes etc.), embedded in clear stone aggregate, in the storage reservoir instead of just aggregate, which will provide a greater effective porosity (n').
