On densely developed sites, the surface area of the practice may be constrained. In such cases the required storage reservoir depth, d<sub>r</sub> of the bioretention cell or infiltration trench can be calculated based on available surface area, A<sub>p</sub>:

Note that in most cases the results of this calculation will be very similar to those from the equation below assuming three-dimensional drainage.
