Which of the following best describes the institution’s approach to rainwater management?:
Comprehensive policies, plans or guidelines that require LID practices for all new projects
A brief description of the institution’s green infrastructure and LID practices:
Through close collaboration between the UNH Stormwater Center and the Campus Planning office, UNH takes a holistic approach to stormwater management on campus. UNH has sited more than a dozen green infrastructure installations across our core campus, including bioretention areas, tree filters, sub-service gravel filters, green roofs, permeable and porous pavement installations and others, which serve both a functional and a research purpose. For a (partial) map of these installations, see https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1ppyPrWUhqpth1-NUnVTcHeOFvME&ll=43.13726499715662%2C-70.94125269577017&z=14.

Low Impact Development practices are also mandated in our Campus Master Plan, accompanying Landscape Master Plan, and our Construction guidelines.
