==To calculate the required storage reservoir depth where the area of the facility is constrained (1D drainage)==
In some very constrained sites, the surface area of the BMP may be limited, in this case the required active storage reservoir depth, d<sub>r</sub> of the bioretention cell or infiltration trench can be calculated.

Note that in most cases the results of this calculation will be very similar to those from the equation below assuming 3 dimensional drainage.
