;R :Ratio of catchment impervious area (A<sub>i</sub>) to the practice permeable footprint area (A<sub>p</sub>). ''syn.'' I/P ratio. For [[green roofs]] and often [[permeable paving]] systems that do not receive drainage from external impervious areas this will be 0. For [[bioretention]], [[infiltration trenches]] and [[infiltration chambers]] receiving pavement runoff, it is recommended to be kept between 15 to 20.
