This document discusses low impact development and green infrastructure strategies to manage stormwater runoff. It provides examples of projects that have implemented these strategies, including schools that have added rain gardens and porous pavement to capture street runoff. Redevelopment projects like a zoo and residential development are also outlined, showing how they incorporate green roofs, cisterns, infiltration beds and managing stormwater within the landscape rather than using detention basins. The key is linking water, soils and vegetation to create environments that function like forests in managing rainfall.
