When designing LID for flood control it is important to consider the need to not only provide extended detention storage but also a means for water to enter the storage reservoir quickly.  Incoming flows should also be pre-treated to avoid clogging of media and drainage pipes.  Such pre-treatment can be achieved through OGS, catchbasin inserts or high flow cobble inlets, among others.  The storage media in the LID facility should have a high void ratio to reduce the potential for clogging with fine sediment that may bypass the inlet pre-treatment controls.
