Pre-Conference Low-Impact Development: Introduction, Applications, and Technical Implementation

Posted By Scott Nania Comments
Here is a great opportunity to strengthen your skills and knowledge in an intensive workshop setting with other inquisitive colleagues. The LID two day class is  highly interactive, and the sessions and “take-home” materials are packed with practical information. This popular, fully accredited workshop is  filling up early; so don’t miss this opportunity to get the most out of your conference experience!

Course Description:
Low-impact development (LID) is an innovative approach to stormwater management with a new philosophical foundation, a new set of principles, new practices, and a new process for site design. LID promises to better meet receiving-water goals in a more economically and ecologically sustainable manner. LID utilizes source control while maintaining or creating a hydrologically functional landscape that mimics natural watersheds’ hydrologic functions (volume, frequency, recharge, and discharge).

By integrating LID into site design you can replicate the natural sponge and pollutant assimilative capacity. A developed site can be designed to be a much more functional part of the watershed with intelligent use of LID practices and principles.

This workshop will provide an in-depth introduction to the economic benefits, ecological goals, planning techniques, design principles, analytical methodologies, and implementation strategies and monitoring results of LID techniques for urban stormwater management. Attendees will gain a thorough technical understanding of how to apply integrated LID management practices to meet local watershed protection and water resources restoration protection goals and regulatory requirements.
