This report by TRCA highlights the use of the [[ Treatment train tool|Treatment Train Approach]] at Bill Crothers Secondary built back in 2008. The site used to a golf course and was located partially i nthe Rouge Watershed's floodplain. During the planning process for the school several low impact developments were identified to be used on site that included, [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Enhanced swales]], Constructed [[Wetlands]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]].

This report by TRCA found several stormwater management benefits by incorporating several LID principles [[Bioretention]], [[Infiltration trenches]]/[[Infiltration chambers]], and [[Enhanced grass swales]] into sustainable functional design in an underutilized space, now named the 'Bentway' under Toronto's Gardiner Expressway. This allowed for dual functioning of a public recreational area and suitable stormwater management. Read more by clicking the button above.

This report by TRCA highlights the multiple LID installations located at Edwards Gardens, a botanical garden located at 777 Lawrence Avenue East in Toronto, Ontario and owned by the city. The retrofit of the Edwards Gardens parking lot introduces several new technologies to add to the existing Low Impact Development (LID) practices onsite – an extensive [[Green roof]] and a [[Rainwater harvesting]] system, alogn wioth [[Bioretention]], [[Permeable pavers]], [[Infiltration trenches]], [[Exfiltration trenches]], and [[Swales]]. The stormwater management benefits of the LID practices implemented onsite help to improve the quality and reduce the volume of runoff discharging to Wilket Creek, nearby.

Creekside Crossing is a communal centre in a heavily urbanized area of Mississauga. Due to extensive development in the area, several Low Impact Development (LID) practices were constructed on site. All combined, the LIDs were able to fulfill the requirement of the TTRCA's water balance objective of retaining runoff from a 10 mm rain event onsite (usually set at 5 mm, but due to the rehabilitation work was completed in a floodplain this objective was increased twofold. The LIDs, which include [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Soakaways]]/Infiltration galleries, [[Vegetated filter strips]] and [[Permeable pavement]], achieve the water balance objective through attenuation/infiltration and evapotranspiration.
