| − | Research on the volumetric runoff reduction performance of permeable pavements have been conducted on pavements with and without an underdrain in the base. Volumetric performance improves when:
| + | Bioretention has been shown to reduce runoff volume through evapotranspiration and infiltration of runoff. The research can be classified into bioretention applications that include underdrains and those that do not (and therefore rely on full infiltration into underlying soils). Aside from the underdrain, many other factors can impact the water balance |
| − | * Native soils have high infiltration capacity.
| |
| − | * Impervious surface draining onto the permeable pavement is limited or absent.
| |
| − | * Underdrain is elevated above the native soil and/or a flow restrictor is installed on the underdrain.
| |
| | | | |
| − | All permeable pavements have very high surface infiltration rates when appropriately maintained. Therefore, the surface course type (i.e. PICP, pervious concrete) is not a key factor in determining volumetric runoff reduction performance.
| + | Aside from the underdrain, many other factors can impact the water balance performance of a bioretention installation: |
| | + | |
| | + | * Native soil infiltration rate; |
| | + | * Rainfall patterns; and, |
| | + | * Various sizing criteria on a per-installation basis. |
