Many of the dimensions in a bioretention system are relatively constrained by the performance requirements of the individual component. There is greatest flexibility in the ponding depth and the depth of the storage reservoir beneath the optional underdrain pipe. The order of operations in calculating these dimensions depends on whether an underdrain is desired.
