This website accompanies the article Low Impact Development: Stormwater Management Meets Environmental Protection in the July 2004 issue of CE News.

The IMP References section is the heart of this site. It aims to be a one-stop location for quantitative information about the effectiveness of LID practices in meeting water quality and quantity objectives, and provides links related to:

• research
• monitoring
• detailed introductory material, and
• news articles.

In developing the site, we focused primarily on material that is available through the internet. The references should not be considered an exhaustive list, nor an endorsement of any products or companies that are mentioned. Feel free to contact Phil at the LID Center if you would like another reference to be included or if you have any questions or comments about the site.

Low impact development is a continually evolving field in stormwater and sustainable design. Please bookmark this site, as well as the LID Clearinghouse, and check back for updates.
