This guidance article intends to help reduce the number of LID options in the preliminary phases of design and to alert the designer to LID opportunities unique to the site-type being assessed. When going through the process of screening LID options, it is important to have a larger contextual understanding of [[Integrated water management]], [[Site design strategies]], and [[Siting and layout of development]].

The design criteria required to protect, enhance or restore the environmental resources can be grouped under the following five categories:
The design criteria required to protect, enhance or restore the environmental resources can be grouped under the following five categories:
*[[Flood protection]]
*[[Flood control]]
*[[Water quality]]
*[[Water quality]]
*Erosion control

*[[Groundwater|Groundwater recharge]]

After selecting a suite of BMPs and running the models, make a comparison between the modelling results results and the environmental design criteria. Employ an iterative approach, which involves adjusting the size or adding/deleting BMPs until the environmental design criteria are met. The [http://www.sustainabletechnologies.ca/wp/low-impact-development-treatment-train-tool/ LID Treatment Train Tool] can help with adjusting the size of the features to meet design criteria. Once met, the project can proceed to the detailed design stage.
