|Berm height (mm)

|Surface roughness (Manning’s n)
|Lower numbers indicate less surface obstruction and result in faster flow

|<nowiki>This is the height from the base of the cell to the height at which the drain discharges. In some designs this may be the height of the perforated pipe within the storage layer [[Bioretention: Partial infiltration]]. In other designs this height is adjusted by creating an upturn in the discharge pipe. [[Bioretention: Internal storage]] </nowiki>
