Programs > Low Impact Development

 

Low Impact Development (LID) is an approach to stormwater management that emphasizes the use of natural site features and small scale stormwater controls to conserve water on site and mimic natural hydrologic patterns. LID techniques can be used for new developments, stormwater retrofits, or community redevelopment – and for residential or commercial projects. A great advantage is flexibility. LID approaches can be integrated to maximize the use of natural land features -and ecosystem services – and reducing project costs.

 

National Atlas Project

A new initiative for Delaware NEMO is to map low-impact-development (LID) sites in Delaware on the National NEMO LID Atlas. If you are interested in having your site highlighted please fill out the LID site registration form. Once approved your site can be viewed on the Delaware NEMO LID atlas.

 

Low Impact Development Roundtable

The Low Impact Development (LID) Roundtable –hosted by Delaware NEMO – provides an informal setting for open discussion and dialogue on issues related to low impact development in Delaware, and more specifically coastal Sussex County. Participants include Sussex County developers, design consultants, local government, state agency, and university representatives.
