For practices with an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider installing the perforated pipe on the bottom of the storage reservoir and including a riser (saves the depth of aggregate needed to embed the pipe), and/or decreasing filter media depth (and adjusting supported plant types), storage reservoir depth and/or catchment impervious area.<br>

For practices with an underdrain in locations constrained in the vertical dimension, consider installing the perforated pipe on the bottom of the storage reservoir and including a raised outlet or riser to utilize the volume of the perforated pipe and surrounding clear stone aggregate material for water storage, which helps to minimize total depth of the practice.  Another option is to decrease filter media depth (and adjust supported plant types), storage reservoir depth and/or catchment impervious area.<br>
