In a [[bioretention]] facility, after the rooting depth of the plants has been accommodated, the reservoir gravel layer can be increased for storage. Reservoir aggregate has a void ratio of 0.4, whilst most bioretention [[filter media]] may have a void ratio of 0.3 or lower.
   
In some cases where the underdrain layer has sufficient depth to accommodate it, a larger bore perforated pipe (e.g. ≥ 300 mm) may be used to add further storage capacity. Ultimately this idea may result in the use of [[infiltration chambers]] to create significant reservoir storage beneath a planted area. Be sure to check with manufacturers about the compatibility of their systems with [[trees]].
