Low Impact Development (LID) practices are highlighted across several studies as effective strategies for stormwater management that remain beneficial under both current and future climate conditions. Given that climate change projections are highly uncertain, particularly at local scales, LID represents a “no-regrets” option—actions that improve resilience to climate impacts while providing immediate environmental, social, and economic benefits (Heltberg et al., 2009; Huron River Watershed Council, 2013)<ref>Heltberg, Rasmus, Paul Bennett Siegel, and Steen Lau Jorgensen. 2009.
