Bioretention filter media may be assumed to have a storage capacity of 0.4.
This has been calculated as the difference between the media porosity and field capacity.
- Marine sand: 0.51 - 0.06 = 0.45 [1]
- Marine sand with 10 % compost: 0.51 - 0.11 = 0.40 </ref name=Liu>
- Marine sand with 20 % compost: 0.53 - 0.12 = 0.41 </rev name=Liu>
- Marine sand with 20 % compost & 20 % topsoil: 0.52 - 0.16 = 0.36 </rev name=Liu>
