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 in the 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]]. To learn more about the design process for the school click 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, 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.
