To boost drainage performance on fine-textured, low permeability soils, consider designing even deeper storage reservoirs that many not fully drain between storm events, which increases hydraulic head and infiltration rate at the base of the practice.

To boost drainage performance on fine-textured, low permeability soils, consider designing storage reservoirs even deeper than those calculated using the above approach, that many not fully drain between storm events, which increases hydraulic head and infiltration rate at the base of the practice.
