P097: Quantifying the Potential for a Low-Cost Distributed Stormwater Detention System using LIDAR and Remotely Sensed Data

This project sought to utilize these LiDAR data and other remotely sensed data to identify and quantify the potential to develop stormwater detention and infiltration areas based on small-scale patterns of land topography. Utilizing the high vertical accuracy and resolution inherent in the existing LiDAR data set, we have demonstrated for the first time that it is feasible to identify the hydrologic connectivity and the topographic features of the urban areas and the wildlandaurban interface (WUI) areas.
