Book excerpt: This paper serves as a "kicking-the-tires" analysis of low impact developments as a method of stormwater management. Specifically, this paper examines the feasibility, benefit, and current practice of low impact developments in Austin, Texas. Merits, strengths, and weakness are comparatively determined primarily on the basis of the impact and efficiency of design, particularly relating to ability to handle water volume and potential to improve water quality. By examining case studies and "applied" examples the potential of low impact development application is considered for the expected, potential, and/or alleged benefits of low impact implementation.
