Urban Storm Water Management and Low Impact Development

This OnDemand Webinar is designed to provide you with the technical understanding to optimize the use of low impact development principles and practices to best meet urban storm water regulations and water resources protection needs. LID stands apart from conventional pipe and pond approaches as the most advanced economically and environmentally sustainable technology for urban storm water management. LID provides better water quality protection while preserving development potential, and reducing development and long-term maintenance cost of storm water infrastructure. The program will provide the information necessary to develop and optimize watershed protection strategies, design manuals, LID policies, LID codes and training, and inspection programs to meet NPDES requirements and TMDLs.

Learning Objectives
•You will be able to review the technical, practical and economic limitations of conventional BMPs.
•You will be able to demonstrate through case studies the use of LID principles and practices.
•You will be able to discuss available analytical tools.
•You will be able to identify pollution prevention strategies.
