*“No-regrets actions are those that provide benefit under both current climate conditions and potential future climate conditions. No-regrets options increase resilience to the potential impacts of climate change while yielding other, more immediate economic, environmental, or social benefits <ref>Heltberg, Rasmus, Paul Bennett Siegel, and Steen Lau Jorgensen. 2009. "Addressing Human Vulnerability to Climate Change: Toward a ‘no-Regrets’ Approach." Global Environmental Change 19 (1): 89-99. doi:10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2008.11.003. </ref>. The no-regrets approach is considered “proactive adaptive management” which is based on the development of a new generation of risk-based design standards that take into account climate uncertainties. There are a wide variety of no- regrets actions that improve the adaptive capacity of the watershed to handle stormwater.” <ref name = "HRWC"/>

*‘No-regrets’ strategies “Faced with uncertainty about future climate change, and given constraints on available resources, communities may choose to pursue no-regrets strategies – actions that are beneficial in addressing current stormwater management needs regardless of whether or how climate may change in the future (Means, Laugier, Daw, Kaatz, & Waage, 2010)”. <ref name ="Pyke">Pyke, C., Warren, M.
