Abstract

Developing and implementing a stonnwater management strategy requires several key
components. Research must be undertaken to develop local rainfall distribution statistics,
determine stonnwater pollutant loading characteristics, determine the effectiveness of various
stonnwater treatment practices and identify design criteria for each type of the best
management practice. The practice of urban stonnwater management has until recently
focused only on drainage and flood control. But now days more and more concern are taken
to reduce pollution's wash out loads to water recipients by implementing source control
management, on-site treatment and building stonnwater pollution control facilities. In the
article overview and basic principals of stonnwater quality management are presented.
General stonnwater treatment and pollutant removal mechanisms are explained. Swnmary
results of study of the pollution removal in constructed wetlands for stonnwater treatment are
described.
