Description
Low Impact Development (LID) is often talked about in the engineering profession and is beginning to be required by municipalities. But what is LID and how can it be implemented? Join this discussion and find out how LID is being implemented across the county and how existing technologies can be used to create LID designs and systems.
This seminar will cover the following topics:
- LID design versus conventional design
- National trends in LID
- Local case studies that utilize features of LID design
- How manufactured products can be integrated into low impact stormwater design
