Who understands and adhears to the practices of Low Impact Development?
Low Impact Development is exactly what the name implies, having a low level of impact on the surrounding environment that you are working in. This involves the footprint you imprint while building a new development, what is preserved, stormwater management and many other factors. Stormwater management is a big part of LID. The most common of projects that would fall under this heading include stormwater harvesting, rain gardens, green roofs, and permeable paving. Developers, contactors, architects, etc… all love their space and like to spread out when building a new project, but who here tries to minimize their impact during their project? Who has experience with some of these specific types of stormwater management and what has your experiences been with them? Thanks!
