In some cases where the underdrain layer has sufficient depth to accommodate it, a larger diameter perforated pipe (e.g. ≥ 300 mm) may be used to add further storage capacity to a [[bioretention]] or a [[bioswale]] project. Ultimately this idea may result in the use of [[infiltration chambers]] or other void-forming structures to create significant reservoir storage beneath a bioretention filter media bed or permeable pavement. Be sure to check with manufacturers about the compatibility of their systems with trees.
