Attend the 2008 International Low Impact Development Conference

November 16-19, 2008
Westin Seattle
Seattle, Washington

A number of national and regional Low Impact Development (LID) Conferences have been held in the UNited States, including the September 2004 conference hosted by the University of Maryland, College Park, and most recently, the March 2007 conference hosted by North Carolina State University in Wilmington, NC.

The 2008 International LID Conference will highlight new and continuing work including research, developments, and community adoption of LID throughout the United States and other countries.

Conference Objectives

• To continue to promote the use of LID as an effective alternative for traditional stormwater management, as well as to examine successful watershed management practices related to stream restoration.
• To inform practitioners throughout the US and other countries on how to anticipate and address impediments for implementation of techniques to accelerate change in the practice of stormwater management, including an information exchange to refine design processes, review procedures and construction standards related to LID technologies.
• To improve our collective understanding of how amended soil and vegetation helps manage stormwater, intercept precipitation, expand urban greenspace, and improve urban livability.
