- Creating vegetated buffers to permit settling and filtering of sediments
- Mitigating heat island effect with vegetation and trees
- Disconnecting rooftop drainage from standard conveyance systems
- Maximizing overland flow through vegetated channels to permit infiltration
Improving water quality through the following methods:
- Bioretention
- Rain gardens
- Constructed wetlands
- Sand filter trenches
Within stormwater detention/retention facilities, utilizing the following strategies where possible:
- Meandering flow paths within the facility
- Forebays
- Plunge pools
- Micropools
Improving aesthetics through the following techniques:
- Varying side slopes for visual interest
