*Daily irrigation can reduce the annual retention by 20% compared to a roof without irrigation. i.e. 40% for irrigated compared to 60% without irrigation<ref name=Hill/>. However, recirculating rainwater from a cistern was estimated to double the annual retention in Florida<ref>Hardin, M.; Wanielista, M.; Chopra, M. 2012. A Mass Balance Model for Designing Green Roof Systems that Incorporate a Cistern for Re-Use. Water, 4, 914-931. http://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/4/4/914</ref>. The research team modeled 87% retention for a green roof coupled with a cistern, compared to 43% for the green roof alone.
