摘要

Low Impact Development and Sponge City Construction are new paradigm for Urban Stormwater Management. It has become a hot focus in urban water resources research and practices globally. In this context, in order to provide an international forum for stormwater management professionals to present the latest developments, technologies and case studies related to low impact development (LID) and green infrastructure (GI) technology, the 2016 International Low Impact Development Conference was organized and held. The Conference was jointly sponsored by the Water Industrial Society of the Chinese Society of Civil Engineers, the Water Environment Research Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Organizers included Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture.
