  1. Toward Sustainable, Resilient Stormwater Management in Southeast Florida - Green Infrastructure Design & Place-Making January 22, 2015

  2. Low-Impact Development and Green Infrastructure - EPA • Low-impact development is an approach to land development (or re-development) that works with nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving and recreating natural landscape features, minimizing effective imperviousness to create functional and appealing site drainage that treat stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product. • Green infrastructure refers to systems and practices that use or mimic natural processes to infiltrate, evapotranspirate, or reuse stormwater or runoff on the site where it is generated.
