Some jurisdictions or particular sites may demand a lower maximum depth of ponding. It is worth bearing in mind that in most cases this ponded water will only occur once or twice per year.

The ponded water within the bowl should drain within 48 hrs. This addresses public concerns about [[mosquitoes]] and reduces the probability of losing vegetation due to saturated growing conditions.

The drainage of the bowl is not usually constrained by the surface infiltration (filter media should drain > 25 mm/hr). The infiltration of water from the bowl is determined by the drainage of the filter media and reservoir into the soils.
