Adopting Low Impact Development practices: facilitate more comprehensive planning & engineering design approach to manage stormwater runoff
LID practices use natural and engineered infiltration and storage techniques to control storm water where it is generated. By using the LID approach to projects, these practices will help mitigate risk and enhance the capacity of? urban drainage, pollutant removal and ecosystem services.
Want to learn more about the importance of LID and how to protect natural resources??
Consider enrolling in the Low Impact Development course delivered this Fall with our partner the W Booth School of Engineering Practice and Technology at McMaster University in collaboration with the Sustainable Technologies Evaluation Program (STEP).?
Application for the LID course? is now open for 2023-24. To reserve your seat - register here: https://lnkd.in/gPF7vJZv
