Green infrastructure, or low impact development (LID), emphasizes conservation and use of on-site natural features to protect water quality. Due to a very dry climate that is punctuated by intense rainfall, Waikoloa is a challenging environment. The Kingdom Hall parking lot design priority was to take advantage of the typical light rain by using it to provide water to the landscape areas. At the same time, it was necessary to provide overflow protections for the intense rains to mitigate erosion and protect the site's neighbors. The cement concrete parking lot reduces heat island effect.
