Low Impact Development (LID) is a new approach to managing stormwater runoff on-site. The basic principle is to model after nature; manage rainfall at the source using uniformly distributed, decentralized, microscale controls. The goal of LID is to mimic a site’s predevelopment hydrology by utilizing various Integrated Management Practices (IMPs) that infiltrate, store, evaporate and detain runoff close to the source.
