LEED Green Associate (LEED GA) — Question 87

Which of the following strategies is considered an approach to land management that mimics natural systems and manages rainwater as close to the source as possible?

Answer options

• A. Xeriscaping
• B. Passive Design
• C. Evapotranspiration
• D. Low-Impact Development

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Low-Impact Development (LID) is designed to replicate natural water cycles and manage rainwater efficiently at the source. Xeriscaping, Passive Design, and Evapotranspiration do not primarily focus on mimicking natural systems for rainwater management in the same way LID does.
