- Description of Presentation:
This presentation provides an overview of sustainable stormwater management, also called low impact development (LID) or green infrastructure, at its facilities. Sustainable stormwater management focuses on reducing runoff and improving water quality. LID practices help maintain natural hydrologic cycles through site grading, vegetation, soils and natural processes that absorb and filter stormwater onsite. - Sustainable stormwater management is an alternative to the traditional piped approach. It promotes onsite collection and conveyance of stormwater from roofs, parking lots, streets, and other surfaces to infiltrate into the ground or collect for reuse, often reducing the need for costly underground structures.
