Links to information on design considerations
Stormwater best management practices that achieve multiple benefits often require additional design considerations beyond standard design guidelines that focus on water quality and/or quantity. Below are references that may provide additional information on design considerations for incorporating multiple benefits into green stormwater infrastructure practices.
