'''Long-term Monitoring (Level 4)'''<br>
'''Long-term Monitoring (Level 4)'''<br>
High-intensity monitoring is a comprehensive but expensive approach to assessing peak flow reduction and water volume reduction during natural runoff events. These reductions can be quantified by completing a water budget during natural storm events, specifically through the measurement of inflow and outflow. Pollutant load reductions can also be quantified with the appropriate technology. Long-term monitoring is especially recommended if the LID feature that is the subject of the test is the first of its kind in its given jurisdiction, if geologic conditions pose a concern, or if the feature is being implemented to protect sensitive and significant natural features.
