Stormwater LID

Low impact development (LID) seeks to remove the negative impact of development by mimicking the pre-development hydrology of a project’s site. The old strategy only matched the peak flow rates, while the LID strategy reduces the volume of runoff produced by development.

 

Efficient land utilization is at the heart of low impact development because LID takes into account the inherent value of the land and the benefits of preserving the natural landscape. Installing underground StormTrap systems can contribute to LID goals by maximizing the use of the land. This reduces the footprint of the developed area and allows forested or other natural areas to remain undisturbed.

 

StormTrap can help meet low impact development goals with our infiltration, stormwater harvesting, and bioretention products.

    • Final_Harvesting
      Stormwater Harvesting

      StormTrap offers stormwater applications that collect stormwater on site for use in irrigation or greywater inside buildings.

    • Infiltration_footings
      Infiltration

      The StormTrap system provides a large infiltrative surface area that allows water to recharge back into the native soil.

    • final_bioswale
      Bioretention

      Bioretention applications can also be integrated into the StormTrap system to filter stormwater runoff and achieve flow attenuation.
