This 2 year study initiated in 2013 evaluated the effectiveness of Low Impact Development (LID) practices at the new Lakeside Park in Mississauga including pervious concrete, bioretention, green roof, and a reclaimed water irrigation system that uses recycled water. These LID features not only provide stormwater management functions, but also add to the aesthetic of the park.

Case Study       │       Project Fact Sheet

The Lakeside Park site is also grouped with 7 other Public Lands sites for a larger monitoring program.  The sites were grouped together because they are all classified as bioretention features and are located on the same land-use type, but each site was designed and implemented differently making them individually unique. The objectives of this report are to analyze the meteorological conditions and water quantity data of the eight Public Lands sites.
