LID-MARC Mission
Provide research-based recommendations to government and
industry on LID stormwater practices, including bioretention and
bioinfiltration. Work conducted by the partnership will range from the
fundamental to the applied practical and will be able to focus on a
variety of land uses and climate conditions found among the
Mid-Atlantic States.
The extended LID-MARC mission statement is available for download in pdf format.
The LID-MARC is composed of the following universities:
- University of Maryland - Dept of Civil and Environmental
Engineering
- North Carolina State University - Dept. of Biological and
Agricultural Engineering
- Villanova University - Dept of Civil Engineering
