Please see [[Bioretention: Internal water storage]] page for further detailed guidance on sizing of internal water storage layer/reservoir is provided.
* Step 4: Calculate the infiltration water storage depth of the practice, d<sub>i</sub> which is the depth of water stored by the practice that can drain by infiltration alone.<br>

For practices without an underdrain, components contributing to infiltration water storage include the surface ponding, mulch and filter media depths (i.e. total depth of the practice). The infiltration water storage depth of the practice can be calculated as:
