Low Impact Development's most powerful concepts are in the drainage planning of the entire site, at any scale.
*Reject dated ideas of concentrating all of the stormwater together in one corner.
*Argue against levelling every site into a generic, difficult to drain flatness.

Ideas for contemporary site planning strategies can be found in:
