Resources

SAN FRANCISCO:
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) website includes a wealth of LID/stormwater management resources, including the City's authoritative Stormwater Design Guidelines. The SFPUC also has some concise, descriptive flyers for rainwater harvesting.

PORTLAND:
The Rose City's Bureau of Environmental Services (BES), as everyone knows, has really pioneered much of the Low Impact Design/Green Infrastructure movement. The BES really took the novel-to-every-other-city-in-the-country idea of LID and green streets and made it the norm, the expected. The projects in Portland are beautiful and artistic. The BES really has a wealth of nicely illustrated fact sheets, guides, and other informational materials.

Prince George's County, MD:
Like the Rose Bowl is the "Grand Daddy of them all," I consider these LID manuals from Prince George's County to be the snowballs that launched the LID avalanche. Check these guys out here:
