What design decisions would help reduce the quantity or improve the quality of stormwater runoff?
A: Adding a constructed wetland
B: Replacing all roads and hardscapes with impervious asphalt
C: Using drip lines for irrigation
D: Placing the building next to a park or other natural area

参考答案: A

本题解释:
A:Adding constructed wetlands reduces the quantity of stormwater runoff by providing a location for the stormwater to collect.
B:Replacing all roads and hardscapes with impervious asphalt is incorrect. Use pervious pavement to allow water to filter through.
C:Using drip lines vs. conventional irrigation does not impact stormwater. However the source of the water for irrigation is important - potable vs. stormwater or graywater.
D:Placing the building next to a park or natural area does not address the issue.
