Overview[edit]

Improvements in the quality of stormwater runoff is one of the primary benefits of low impact development strategies.


Nutrients[edit]

Plants (including algae) require three macro nutrients to grow: Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous. Of these three, phosphorous is the often the "growth-limiting" nutrient. i.e. the local environment may have an abundance of nitrogen and potassium, but algae won't develop unless phosphorous is available too.

Phosphorous
