Underdrains comprise a length of perforated [[pipe]] embedded into a layer of [[reservoir aggregate]]. They are an optional component of [[bioretention]] systems, [[bioswales]] and [[Stormwater Tree Trenches |stormwater tree trenches]] and a required component of [[stormwater planters]]. Their design varies according to the drainage requirements of the installation, but all require standpipes or structures that provide access to the perforated pipe for inspection and maintenance purposes.  [[Underdrain]] perforated pipes should be located below the frost line to reduce the threat of ice clogging.
