Bioretention practices have been shown to reduce runoff volume through both means of evapotranspiration and infiltration. The primary body of research is separated into bioretention practices either with underdrains and those without (therefore, relying solely on full infiltration into underlying soils). Volumetric performance improves when: 
 +
* Native soils have high infiltration capacity.
 +
* General size of the practice.
 +
* Underdrain is elevated above the native soil and/or a flow restrictor is installed on the underdrain.
