=Low Impact Development Strategies for Flood Control and Mitigation[edit]
On a watershed scale, factors contributing to flooding include the total volume of stormwater, the peak flow and the duration of peak flow. All forms of low impact development installation can help to prevent flooding by providing watershed distributed stormwater storage, and most feature some form of peak flow control device at the outflow or overflow. The limiting factors in the contribution that a system can make to flood control include the total storage and the rate at which the system can be emptied between events.
