*[[Bioswales]] or the use of [[perforated pipes]] beneath grass [[swales]] can reduce the nuisance problems associated with conventional swales like standing surface water and steep slopes*Permeable pavement systems can be used to stabilize and improve degraded shoulders*Converting degraded ditches to [[enhanced grass swales]] is the simplest LID improvement to make to residential rural cross-section roads. Driveway culverts can be slightly raised to provide storage and encourage infiltration.
