→Impacts of erosion
Erosion releases sediment-laden runoff and airborne dust, which can have a range of environmental and infrastructure-related impacts. These include:

*'''Reducing the effectiveness of LID features''' by clogging [[Filtration|filters]] or [[Inlets|inlets]] and limiting [[Infiltration|infiltration]] capacity.
