Conference Objectives

To continue to promote the use of Low Impact Development (LID) as an effective alternative for traditional stormwater management
To examine successful watershed management practices related to stream restoration and hydromodification
To inform practitioners throughout the country on how to anticipate and address impediments for implementation of these techniques to accelerate change in the practice of stormwater management, including an information exchange to refine design processes, review procedures, and construction standards related to LID technologies
To improve our collective understanding of how vegetation helps manage stormwater, intercept precipitation, expand urban greenspace, and improve urban livability
To consider how changes in the traditional urban drainage design paradigm mesh with ideas of sustainability and green building and help create a constituency for more livable, more sustainable cities
