If you are designing a planted system which does not infiltrate water, see advice on [[Planters: Sizing]].

Many of the dimensions in a bioretention system can be predetermined according to the function of the component. There is greatest flexibility in the ponding depth, filter media depth and the depth of the internal water storage reservoir beneath the optional underdrain pipe. The table below describes some recommended values to use to begin the design process.
