Low-impact Development

Low-Impact Development is a land-use planning and stormwater management approach that employs decentralized, small-scale structural and non-structural practices to conserve natural hydrologic features and mimic predevelopment runoff regimes, thereby minimizing the adverse impacts of urbanization on watershed processes and water quality.
