Over subsurface infrastructure, soils prone to subsidence, or pollution hotspots, it may be necessary to prevent all infiltration. These BMPs can also be squeezed into tight urban spaces, adjacent to buildings and within the usual setbacks required for infiltrating facilities. Stormwater planters can also be used as a means of providing building-integrated LID by capturing a portion of the rainwater from the rooftop.

Performance[edit]

This performance related section is due to be updated throughout 2018 as STEP perform a literature review of all common LID performance metrics. Water quality [1] [2] [3]
