Stormwater treatment
There are many LIUDD approaches to managing stormwater. These include:
- Vegetated swales
- Rain gardens
- Rain tanks
- Stormwater retention ponds
- Permeable pavers
- Filters
- Treatment trains
- Greenroofs
- Riparian strips
It is also common to have several devices linked in what is called a "treatment train".
Our research also includes assessment of the economics of various stormwater treatment devices.
