The Low Impact Development Treatment Train Tool (LID TTT) is designed to help developers, consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement more sustainable stormwater management planning and design practices in their watersheds. 

The tool focuses on the use of Best Management Practices (BMP)’s and Low Impact Development (LID) techniques, and:
*analyzes annual and event based runoff volumes,
**including water budget information: surface [[evapotranspiration]], surface runoff, and [[infiltration]] to soil
*provides estimates of [[water quality]] improvements. 

The tool is built upon the open source EPA SWMM5 model providing a user-friendly interface for novice modelers and cross-compatibility with SWMM5 for further model development.

The LID TTT has been developed in partnership between [http://www.lsrca.on.ca/ Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority], [https://www.creditvalleyca.ca/ Credit Valley Conservation], and [https://trca.ca/ Toronto and Region Conservation Authority].

Integration with this guide is through suggested 'starting point' values for design parameters for the following BMP types:
*[[Bioretention: TTT|Bioretention]]
*[[Filter strips: TTT|Vegetated filter strips]]
*[[Infiltration: TTT|Infiltration trenches]]
*[[Permeable paving: TTT| Permeable paving]]
*[[Rainwater harvesting: TTT|Rainwater harvesting]]
*[[Swales: TTT|Swales]]
*[[Dry ponds: TTT|Dry ponds]]
*[[Pretreatment: TTT|OGS and filters]]
