Learning Outcomes
Learners will be able to discuss environmental and water quality threats in urban areas, identify the drawbacks of conventional approaches to address stormwater, and explain the principles and benefits of low impact development (LID) strategies.

Learners will be able to explain the science of the water cycle and site hydrology, as a foundation to understanding and implementing the objectives of low impact development and treating stormwater runoff as intended by nature.

Learners will be able to identify and explain the objectives and applications of structural best management practices, including bioretention systems, dry swales, permeable pavement, infiltration basins, rain barrels, and green roofs.

Learners will be able to describe the process of low impact development site planning and discuss the economics, construction and maintenance considerations of low impact development projects.
