Low Impact Development's most powerful concepts are in the drainage planning of the entire site, at any scale.
Begin by rejecting dated ideas of concentrating all of the stormwater together in one corner. Argue against levelling every site into a generic, difficult to drain flatness.
When water is permitted to flow in a greater number of directions, each structural practice or BMP becomes much more efficient and cost effective.
Ideas for contemporary site planning strategies can be found in:
