Low-Impact Development (LID) is an approach to land development that uses various land planning

and design practices and technologies to simultaneously conserve and protect natural resource

systems and reduce infrastructure costs. LID still allows land to be developed, but in a cost-effective

manner that helps mitigate potential environmental impacts. This approach aims to manage

rainwater as close to its source as possible, mimicking a site’s pre-development hydrology through

the use of numerous site design strategies. Reference: LEED Green Associate Candidate Handbook,
