Any measure that decreases runoff volumes or temperatures or both can help mitigate thermal loads to streams or downstream treatment facilities. Examples include [[bioretention]], [[infiltration trenches]] or [[infiltration chambers|chambers]], [[enhanced swales]], [[permeable pavements]], [[rain gardens|absorbent landscaping]] and increased canopy cover. The temperature (event mean temperature) and thermal load benefits of the practices are shown in figures 1 to 3 below. The most effective practices were deeper systems such as trenches, some deep bioretention facilities, and practices that promote significant runoff volume reductions. Beyond reducing temperatures and runoff volumes, enhancing [[infiltration]] also helps re-establish the natural baseflow regime that existed prior to development.
