Comparison of Hydrological Responses from Low Impact Development with Conventional Development

Stormwater Management for Smart Growth

“…A recent monitoring project compared the hydrologic characteristics of runoff from a conventional residential development to an LID area in Maryland (Cheng et al 2003). The LID watershed was constructed with grass swales and bioretention throughout.…”

Hydrologic monitoring of an integrated low impact development (LID) underdrained stormwater management system

“…In general, data is not gathered from integrated LID installations after construction (Clar 2005), though these sites are constructed with specific hydrologic design goals and calculations. In particular, data of this kind are rarely published in peer-reviewed journals and are more commonly published in conference proceedings and layman's journals (e.g., Cheng et al 2003 andTrimbath 2006). Schneider and McCuen (2006) LID research is more frequently conducted in laboratories, on an individual LID feature, or through computer models.…”
