This report by TRCA discusses the various Low Impact Development (LID) technologies used in key areas of interest throughout UOIT's campus (located in Oshawa, ON.), to both mitigate the impacts of the development and to green the campus. The processes are transparent to the campus community providing valuable visible lessons for students and faculty. The LID technologies used include [[Bioretention]], linear [[Wetlands]], [[Green roofs]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]], all designed to reduce runoff volumes and pollutant loads to the adjacent ravine.

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, along with [[Bioretention]], [[Permeable pavement]], [[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.
