Alternative Computational Approach Improving Hydrologic Design of Low‐Impact Development Facilities

ABSTRACT Low‐impact development (LID) facilities such as bioretention cells, infiltration trenches, permeable pavements, rainwater harvesting systems, and green roofs are widely used in North America to reduce the detrimental environmental impact of urban development. The design‐storm approach is commonly used for determining the required sizes of LID facilities. An alternative computational approach was recently developed that uses analytical …
