*''Reduced thermal aquatic impacts'': Bioretention and other filtration and infiltration practices benefit aquatic life by reducing thermal impacts on receiving waters from urban runoff (Jones and Hunt, 2009<ref>Jones, M.P. and Hunt, W.F. 2009. Bioretention Impact on Runoff Temperature in Trout Sensitive Waters. Journal of Environmental Engineering. Vol. 135. No. 8. Pp. 577-585.</ref>). Unlike detention ponds, bioretention does not raise water temperature and can help maintain baseflows through infiltration. | *''Reduced thermal aquatic impacts'': Bioretention and other filtration and infiltration practices benefit aquatic life by reducing thermal impacts on receiving waters from urban runoff (Jones and Hunt, 2009<ref>Jones, M.P. and Hunt, W.F. 2009.
