Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing an improved technology for environmental protection for the natural habitat is not one of the main goals and principals of low-impact development. The primary goal of LID method is to mimic predevelopment site hydrology by using site design techniques that store, infiltrate, evaporate, and detain runoff to ensure adequate groundwater recharge. Since every aspect of site development affects the hydrologic response of the site, LID control techniques focus mainly on site hydrology.
