Course Description
There is a growing interest in Low Impact Development (LID) as an alternate, environmental-friendly, sustainable approach to conventional site development (Williams, 2003), especially in regards to stormwater management. LID uses a decentralized approach to managing stormwater quantities and quality and encouraging filtration, infiltration, and evapotranspiration. While LID has numerous benefits including reduced construction costs, many professionals are slow to implement this approach due to lack of knowledge and lack of detailed guidance on site design, stormwater BMP design, construction, maintenance and effectiveness. This workshop will address this challenge, and provide detailed information on site design strategies, retrofit approaches, and best management practices related to low impact development.
