Here is a great opportunity to strengthen your skills and knowledge in an
intensive workshop setting with other inquisitive colleagues. The LID
two day
class is highly interactive, and the sessions and
“take-home” materials
are packed with practical information. This
popular, fully accredited workshop
is filling up early; so don’t
miss this opportunity to get the most out of
your conference
experience!
Course Description:
Low-impact development (LID) is an innovative approach
to stormwater management with a new philosophical foundation, a new set
of
principles, new practices, and a new process for site design. LID
promises to
better meet receiving-water goals in a more economically
and ecologically
sustainable manner. LID utilizes source control while
maintaining or creating a
hydrologically functional landscape that
mimics natural watersheds’ hydrologic
functions (volume, frequency,
recharge, and discharge).
By integrating LID into site design you can replicate the natural sponge and
pollutant assimilative capacity. A developed site can be designed to be
a much
more functional part of the watershed with intelligent use of
LID practices and
principles.
This workshop will provide an in-depth introduction to the economic benefits,
ecological goals, planning techniques, design principles, analytical
methodologies, and implementation strategies and monitoring results of
LID
techniques for urban stormwater management. Attendees will gain a
thorough
technical understanding of how to apply integrated LID
management practices to
meet local watershed protection and water
resources restoration protection goals
and regulatory requirements.
