<br />• pre-development (blue) peak discharge is low and creates the least amount of runoff

<br />• post-development without SWM facilities (red) discharge responds quickly to rainfall and has high peak flow

<br />• post-development with an end-of-pipe SWM pond (green) discharge reaches the same peak flow as pre-development conditions but produces more runoff. The checkered yellow space between the blue and green lines shows the difference between the runoff volumes - this area is where LID can be used to reduce runoff by storing and infiltrating rainfall.
