Low Impact Development Technology: Implementation and Economics

Selected papers from the 2011 Low Impact Development Conference, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 25 28, 2011. Sponsored by the Low Impact Development Committee of the Urban Water Resources Research Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Insite development, the rapid adoption of low impact development (LID) technology for stormwater management, can create conflicts among the various municipal agencies tasked with overseeing land use decisions. Low Impact Development Technology: Implementation and Economics contains nine papers that address implementation procedures and the economic impact of LID technology. Topics include: regulations and codes; planning and information exchange; policy incentives; outreach activities; operations and maintenance considerations; and life-cycle costs and performance metrics. A companion volume, Low Impact Development Technology: Design Methods and Case Studies, is also available. Both collections will be of interest to engineers, land planners, and government officials working on stormwater management and land use policy.
