This fact sheet presents considerations for the design and planning of low-impact development (LID) on slopes. It describes features used to slow down, retain, and infiltrate water on slopes including vegetation, diversion berms, terraces and weep gardens, check dams, and baffles. The fact sheet provides case studies from Seattle and Aukland, New Zealand.
