Inhabitect, LLC was founded on the belief that designing, building and growing resilient Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) is critical to our ability to create a sustainable landscape for future generations. We will explore ways to tie Low Impact Development (LID) and Natural Shorelines into a cohesive and manageable stormwater treatment train approach to managing rainfall on both residential and commercial projects. Regardless if a project is rural or urban managing stormwater that falls upland from a shoreline must be managed responsibly before it reaches the shoreline. Natural shoreline installation techniques enhance LID designs and help to eliminate concerns tied to erosion from the upland habitat. This presentation will make the case for why these techniques are closely related.
