Description
Summary:Selection of stormwater management technique was often done using rule of thumb without understanding the capacity and behavior of each low impact development (LID) technique. In this study, multi-criteria performance of each LID technique was evaluated to identify the most appropriate technology for a specific objective. Selection criteria for appropriate LID technology were derived based on different indicators such as pollutant reduction, hydraulic performance, construction, operation, and maintenance cost and other benefits of LID technologies gathered from 680 research articles. According to experts from different countries, LID technologies were mostly used for their hydraulic performance. However, few other countries also used LID technologies due to its pollutant removal capabilities. Depending on a specific objective, an LID technology may be more applicable than the other.
