|  | + | ===Volume reduction=== | 
|  | + | In many forms of LID practice, the dominant mechanism reducing the loading of phosphorus, is the significant volume reduction of the outflow achieved. |

|  | + | ===Chemical control=== | 
|  | + | For infiltration practices an 'amendment' or chemically reactive 'additive' can help to retain even more phosphorus. |
