✦ Synopsis

The 2008 International Low Impact Development (LID) Conference expanded ongoing regional and national dialogue to a global scale. This proceedings highlights reports on new and continuing research, developments, and community adoption of LID throughout the United States and other parts of the world. These papers address a very broad range of topics that are relevant to sustainable approach to storm water management using the Low Impact Development technology. The topics include: LID and sustainability; codes, regulations, constraints, guidelines; recent monitoring/performance findings; computational methods; advances in LID BMP design methods - lessons learned; site design considerations; LID incentives for new development; watershed retrofit with LID; education, training outreach; and long-term performance, maintenance. This proceedings is useful to student and academics involved in environmental engineering and low impact development, landscape architects, soil scientists, design professionals, and water program administrators.
