Flow through media
Practices which infiltrate surface runoff through an engineered soil or filter media, and discharge through an underdrain include stormwater planters and some forms of bioretention. The maximum flow rate from the BMP may be limited by the hydraulic conductivity of the mmedium, or by the properties of the perforated pipe.
The maximum flow rate through a bed of filer media (Qmax<max>) may be calculated: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle Q_{max}=K_{m}\times A_{p}\times \left (\frac{d_{p}+d_{m}}{d_{m}} \right )\times 3.6 \times 10^{-3}} {{Plainlist|1=Where:
- Km' is the hydraulic conductivity of the filter media (mm/hr),
