Concentrated flow inlets are associated with LID practices such as [[Bioretention]], [[Stormwater planters]], [[Infiltration trenches]] and [[infiltration chambers|chambers]].

Practices such as [[permeable paving]] and [[green roofs]] receive precipitation directly, whilst [[exfiltration trenches]] are connected directly to conventional storm sewers.

It is recommended to include multiple inlets, sized to distribute inflow along the length of the practice or between multiple facilities, where feasible, rather than concentrating all inflow into a single location. ([[Overflow|Offline overflow]]).

==Trench drains==

Trench drains are long, covered channels that collect and direct water into the BMP. They are an excellent solution for streets where walking across the entire surface is to be encouraged. They can be designed as detectable edges or part of a detectable edge, and may be used to help define curbless or 'complete streets'.
