The purpose of this technote is to guide the user on entering the data required for Lower Impact Development (LID) Controls..
Low Impact Development Types
Summary of LID Control Layers
LID control is represented by a combination of vertical layers, which may include (in top to bottom order):
Defining Low Impact Development Control
Controls are defined in the LID Controls editor
Model performs moisture balance
In a project, you would go to Components > Low Impact Development Controls. This is where you would enter the different LID Controls for the project. After these are set up, you can export them to the Engineering Libraries for use in other projects.
Note: The underdrain is only required on a rain barrel control. If using a rain barrel, you will notice that it has a Drain Delay. The drain delay is the number of dry weather hours that must elapse before the drain line in a rain barrel is opened (the line is assumed to be closed once rainfall begins).
After entering the Low Impact Development (LID) Controls, you will add the catchments and LID elements to the network.
