LID (Low Impact Development)

Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to managing land and water that aims to minimize environmental disturbance. It promotes practices like creating rain gardens, permeable pavements, and green roofs to absorb and filter stormwater naturally. By encouraging natural infiltration, LID reduces runoff, prevents flooding, and improves water quality. It also helps maintain the natural landscape, supports local ecosystems, and can enhance urban beauty. Overall, LID integrates sustainable design practices into development to protect water resources and reduce environmental impact.
