The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments is sponsoring the first national low-impact development conference on September 21-24 in College Park, MD. Entitled, “Putting the LID on Stormwater Management: The benefits of and impediments to Low Impact Development,” the conference will highlight innovative LID techniques designed to mitigate the effects of urbanization and development at the watershed level. The Conference is part of a larger effort to show the benefits of using LID and stream restoration.
