Low Impact Development

Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to land development (or re-development) that works with nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving and recreating natural landscape features, minimizing effective imperviousness to create functional and appealing site drainage that treat stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product. 

Hydrologic + Ecologic 

In this project, we applied many strategies such as bioretention facilities, rain gardens, vegetated rooftops, rain barrels, and permeable pavements to realize LID. With the implement of these strategies, water can be managed in a way that reduces the impact of built areas and promotes the natural movement of water within an ecosystem or watershed. Applied on a broad scale, LID can maintain or restore a watershed's hydrologic and ecological functions.
