−This guidance article intends to help reduce the number of LID options in the preliminary phases of design and to alert the designer to LID opportunities unique to the site-type being assessed. When going through the process of screening LID options, it is important to have a larger contextual understanding of [[Integrated water management]], [[Site design strategies]], and [[Siting and layout of development]].
