Stormwater management in urban areas using LID practices is gaining momentum and needs to be tested in various soil types. Two construction projects are being undertaken, to build and compare four different permeable pavements, as well as a bioretention area, in clay soils of North Central Texas. The practices were built on the campus of the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas, TX. These were constructed as part of a larger project that serve as BMPs for reducing runoff and pollution at the campus as well as a means to demonstrate urban LID practices.
