Question: What is bioretention? How is it relevant to the UK?
Bioretention and biofiltration was first pioneered over a decade ago in the US as part of the Low Impact Development (LID) movement. Conventional Bioretention systems were larger, landscaped drainage systems, developed as means not only of dealing with the quantity of stormwater from developments, but also filtering runoff through an aerobic plant, soil and microbe complex to capture, remove and cycle pollutants.
