What is Sustainable Design?
Sustainable Design combines civil engineering and environmental science to introduce best management practices (BMPs), like green infrastructure, and to develop innovative solutions that address environmental challenges. Techniques like biomimicry, which involves learning from nature and mimicking natural regenerative processes, contribute to creating long–term sustainability.
What is Low Impact Development?
Low Impact Development (LID) is a sustainable stormwater management practice to control water at the source, instead of creating a pipe drainage system to collect stormwater. Implementing LID can include the uses of structural and non-structural devices to create a design that creates climate resiliency and is long term cost effective.
How do Regulatory Requirements Impact Sustainable Water Design?
Regulations often mandate certain environmental protections and water management practices. Sustainable water design not only helps meet these regulatory requirements but also provides additional environmental and social benefits.
How Can Sustainable Water Designs be Integrated into Existing Infrastructure?
Integrating sustainable practices into existing infrastructure can involve retrofitting with green solutions. This approach can enhance the capacity of existing infrastructure to manage variable water flows and reduce environmental impact.
