This project takes advantage of the unique opportunity to test new landscape-based stormwater management techniques in San Francisco. As a demonstration project, it tests best practices for LID that will assist the SFPUC in the development of future projects in other locations. Using vegetated swales and infiltration basins, these features are intended to delay, capture, and purify water that otherwise would flow directly into Lake Merced, demonstrating how stormwater can recharge groundwater reserves at the same time.
