To decrease A<sub>p</sub>, consider increasing ponding depth if feasible and would not create a safety hazard (recommended maximum of 0.45 m), increasing storage reservoir depth to create inactive water storage that increases hydraulic head and infiltration rate at the base of the practice, or decreasing the catchment area.
