Introduction to LID Design as Stormwater Controls
Explore sustainable stormwater infrastructure and its integration into development projects in this comprehensive webinar. Learn about various acronyms used in the field (LID/BMP/GI/SUDS/WSUDS) and their meanings. Discover different stormwater control options, including raingardens, bioretention areas, permeable pavement, swales, green roofs, and rainwater reuse systems. Gain insights into BMP sizing criteria, design needs for green infrastructure, and practical applications. The presenter, Zach Sample, PE., covers topics such as ponds, underground detention chambers, soakaways, infiltration trenches, and the use of pipes, channels, and bypass systems. Conclude with a short practical demonstration to reinforce the concepts discussed throughout the webinar.
