Low Impact Development (LID) Representation in #InfoSWMM and Sustain
LID controls are represented by a combination of vertical layers whose properties are defined on a per-unit-area basis. This allows LIDs of the same design but differing areal coverage to easily be placed within different Subcatchments in a study area. During … Read the rest

Utilizing LID controls within a project is a two phase process that:
1. creates a set of scale-independent LID controls that can be deployed throughout the study area,
2. assigns any desired mix and sizing of these controls to selected Subcatchments.
