The human impact on land development has affected the natural hydrological cycles

5.2 LID Techniques:

There are many techniques and possible solutions to mitigate stormwater runoff. These techniques allow stormwater runnoff to mimic the natural flow.

Biotention Cells Sloped Biodetention

BioDetention Swales Tree Box Filters

Permeable Concrete Permeable Asphalt

Permeable Gravel Pave Permeable Pavers

Vegetative Roofs Roof Stormwater Harvesting

Filter Strips Media Filtration

Dowl Engineers used LID methods during the design to mitigate stormwater run off. The methods used were financially and environmentally sound principles. LID was the basis for all the design on this development (Dowl, 2007).
