To decrease A<sub>p</sub>, consider increasing ponding depth if feasible and would not create a safety hazard (recommended maximum of 0.45 m), using Darcy 3D drainage equation or tool (see below) to optimize the infiltration water storage depth, assuming both vertical and horizontal drainage, or decreasing the catchment area.
