Green Stormwater Infrastructure

This fact sheet explores how low-impact development (LID) tactics are designed to address extreme rainfall events. It examines design features unique to handling high volume water flow including overflow devices, bypass devices, backup infiltration, and underdrains. The fact sheet highlights case studies from Lansing, Michigan and Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
