We have a case were our site lies within a densely urban city , where they have minimal events of rainfall but with huge amounts- therefore allover the city they collect the rain water through infrastructure (rainwater collection network) where they collect water and remove pollutant and throw it back to wadi (valley) where water is restored gradually to the ground water underneath the whole city
My question here , can we achieve the credit through this approach , if not , how would buildings within dense cities achieve this credit through LID and GI ?

Hello Soha,
I see that you did not get a response to your question. I have a similar question and was wondering if you have come up with an approach that worked for you and if you would be willling to share it.
Thank you,
Yasha

My understanding (and our urban USA projects have pursued this way) is that you can only achieve on a site-strapped project via reuse. So our NYC projects that cannot infiltrate on site must have sufficient space to reuse for a process in the building.
