Landscape Architects presented a full day of exciting,
information-packed speakers with…
Let Nature Do the Work! Low Impact Development
Innovative Site Development Techniques to Reduce Stormwater
Runoff, Promote Biodiversity
Protect Water Quality and Enhance Community Asthetics and Values
Low Impact Development (LID) is an innovative approach to
stormwater management that is receiving nationwide attention and
is being implemented by federal agencies, state and local
governments for aquatic resource protection and regulatory
compliance.
LID is a site level stormwater management design approach with
an objective of maintaining the hydrologic cycle or meeting
targeted watershed objectives. This is accomplished by a
combination of planning and design strategies that use
conservation approaches and techniques to reduce site
development impacts.
