Low Impact Development (LID), Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD), Green Coving (GC), Minimal Impact Development (MID), Sustainable Urban Design Systems (SUDS), and various other terms are generally slight variations on the same theme: "buzz phrases" for marketing a stormwater management approach intended to be sustainable.
