− | This document – the Low Impact Development Stormwater Management Planning
| + | | class="mainpage_hubbox_left" | |
− | and Design Guide – has been developed by Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and
| + | <div class="mainpage_boxtitle">'''{{Main page/include|left box title|{{{1|}}}}}'''</div> |
− | Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as a tool to help developers,
| + | <div class="mainpage_boxcontents"> |
− | consultants, municipalities and landowners understand and implement sustainable
| |
− | stormwater planning and practices in the CVC and TRCA watersheds. The use of
| |
− | sustainable stormwater planning and practices will help ensure the continued health
| |
− | of the streams, rivers, lakes, fisheries and terrestrial habitats in our watersheds.
| |
− | The guide is intended to provide engineers, ecologists and planners with up-to-date
| |
− | information and direction on landscape-based stormwater management planning and
| |
− | low impact development stormwater management practices such as rainwater
| |
− | harvesting, green roofs, bioretention, permeable pavement, soakaways and swales.
| |
− | The information contained in the guide will help practitioners adopt landscape-based
| |
− | stormwater management approaches, and will help select, design, construct and
| |
− | monitor more sustainable stormwater management practices.
