| In densely developed areas, such as city centers, campuses, and shopping areas, drainage problems can occur due to surface imperviousness. The main issues are surface runoff and flooding due to increased speed and volume of water and the inability of groundwater recharge. Especially with the effects of climate change, the number of floods has increased worldwide in recent years due to higher than average rainfall intensity and duration. In order to mitigate the effects of extreme rain events, stormwater issues must be controlled. In this context, one of the methodologies applied is low impact development (LID), which includes many different types of applications focused on stormwater control. This study examines examples of LID applied in the main campus of the University of Connecticut (UConn), located in Storrs Mansfield, Connecticut, USA. As the first step, the conceptual framework of LID was identified with the help of international literature. In the second stage, the operations of the sustainability office within UConn were reviewed. In the third phase, some of the LID sites on campus were visited for on-site inspection and visual documentation. These are application areas created, such as bioretention swales, rain gardens, and porous pavers, with LID techniques. Finally, in the fourth phase, suggestions were developed to motivate LID practices, which are planned for the future on other campuses. |
