Bioretention areas are conceived to capture sheet flow from impervious surfaces and will be typically limited to small drainage areas from 0.25 to 1 acre. The material presented in this chapter is the result of a study to determine the technical feasibility of using bioretention for storm water management. The following interrelated elements of bioretention
