A hydrologic assessment of using low impact development to mitigate the impacts of climate change in Victoria, BC, Canada

The purpose of this study is to determine if Low Impact Development (LID) can effectively mitigate flooding under projected climate scenarios. LID relies on runoff management measures that seek to control rainwater volume at the source by reducing imperviousness and retaining, infiltrating and reusi...
