After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Define LID and its uses;
- Implement LID in the site planning stage;
- Recognize where and how LID measures can be used across an existing project or one that is yet to be developed;
- Use basic hydrology methods to size and place the LID controls;
- Describe the maintenance issues associated with these measures;
- Accurately assess the economic implications of LID developments;
- Understand how LID measures can help projects attain LEED points; and
