3. Introduction
• Storm water is Rainwater and melted Snow that runs off
Streets, Lawns and other sites. When storm water is absorbed
into the ground, It is filtered and ultimately refills Aquifers Or
Flows Into Streams And Rivers.
• Storm water management means to manage surface runoff. It
can be applied in rural areas , but is essential in urban areas
where run-off cannot infiltrate because the surfaces are
impermeable.

4. Importance of Storm water Management
As opposed to allowing for flooding in cities, smart stormwater management
opens up several opportunities including:
• Channelling it to irrigation systems, where it is needed the most.
• Controlling of erosion and making our natural river systems cleaner.
• Removal of pollutants, since stormwater carries a large amount of urban
trash along.
• Flood control and restoring city life to normalcy.
• Restoring the natural topography of our river systems.
Apart from this, the stormwater system also:
• Makes our homes and land stronger and less prone to water damage
• Lowers property maintenance costs
• Reduces our water dependence, thus lower water bills
• Increases the value of our land

5. Advantages
• Provides proper drainage of surface run-off and avoids damages on
infrastructure such as private properties and streets.
• Provides possibility to recharge groundwater and re-use precipitation water
and surface run-off as irrigation or household water.
• Minimizing health risks.
• Treatment of storm water in a very early stage
• Avoids damages on infrastructure (private properties, streets, etc.); flood
prevention
• Provides effective storm water flood control.
• It can be integrated into the urban landscape and provide green and
recreational areas.
• Revenue generated by a storm water utility can be used as a new, dedicated
source of funds to supplement or replace the community's current storm
water management funding, enabling tax-based funding to be used for other
community needs.

6. Disadvantages
• Expert planning, implementation, operation and maintenance required for a
storm water management.
• It depends on the technique, a lot of operation and labour required.
• There is risk of clogging infiltration system caused by high sedimentation
rates.
• Temporary covering methods, such as plastic sheeting, can become torn or
ripped, exposing the contaminant to precipitation and/or storm water
runoff.

7. Effects of Poor Storm water Management
• Downstream Flooding
• Stream Bank Erosion
• Increased Turbidity From Erosion
• Habitat Destruction
• Combined Sewer Overflows
• Infrastructure Damage
• Contaminated Streams, Rivers, And Coastal Water
Storm water is actually concern for two Main Issues:
• Related to the volume and timing of runoff water (Flood control and Water
supplies)
• Related to polluted contaminants that the water is carrying,
– i.e. Water Pollution.

8. Rural storm water management
Beside techniques that can be implemented
in rural and urban areas (read more
below), there are specific tools for rural
areas and agriculture land. These include
irrigation systems, called spate irrigation,
or small-scale precipitation techniques
such as micro basins, gully plug, field
trenches, bunds, dams and of course
rooftop harvesting. All of these techniques
make use of important water sources while
also reducing peak flows during rainy
periods, storing water, and attenuating the
power and velocity of floods
8
The main problem in rural
areas is impermeable surfaces
(e.g. caused by roads and
buildings) and overstrained
sewer systems. In rural areas
and agricultural land it can lead
to erosion. Furthermore, this
water could be used for
agriculture and drinking water.
9. Urban storm water management
• The practice of managing freshwater, wastewater, and storm
water as links within the resource management structure, using
an urban area as the unit of management is known as
Integrated Urban Water Management (IUWM).
• Human settlements disturb the natural water cycle and creates
floods and water pollution.
– Surfaces are impermeable.
– Groundwater resources decrease, fresh water becomes
scarce.

12. Retention Ponds
• Primarily designed to improve stormwater quality.
• Secondary for flood control devices.
• Retention Ponds do not dry out, water stays between 2 and 4 weeks.
• Water quality improvement mainly through settling.

13. Onsite Detention (OSD)
• Collecting stormwater on-site (e.g. on a private property).
• Storing it for a certain time and release it slowly or (re-)use it.
• Used in urban and residential areas.

14. Rainwater Harvesting
• Can be used in urban and rural areas.
• Reducing of stormwater runoff and storage of potable water
• Water can be used for irrigation, as flush water for toilets or,
after purification, as drinking water.

15. Green Roofs (living roofs) (TRCA & CVC 2010)
• Vegetated roofs on flat or sloped roofs.
• They improve energy efficiency, reduce urban heat effect and create green
spaces.
• Reducing peak flow (storing a certain volume of rainwater)

16. Constructed Wetlands
• Designed to manage peak flows and to improve water
quality of surface runoff.
• Restoring natural habitats in cities (recreation, birdlife, etc.).

A possible design is a pond/wetland
system. First pond (left) reduces
velocity and removes pollutants. The
shallow marsh system stores water and
is an additional treatment. Source:

17. Infiltration Trenches
• Shallow excavations filled with uniformly crushed stones.
• Walls and top lined with geotextile to avoid sediment penetration.
• Runoff infiltrates through the trenches into the subsoil.
• Treatment occurs during infiltration.
• Constructed beside streets and outdoor parking lots.

21. Pervious Pavements
• Permeable pavement surface with a stone reservoir underneath.
• Reservoir stores runoff water temporarily.
• Afterwards, stored water is subsurface drained or infiltrates into the subsoil.

• General aim: protect health, welfare and safety of the public.
• The described technologies all have ecological treatment effects.
• Illegal solid waste disposal or connection of sewer system to the stormwater
drainage systems can endanger the public health.
• High sedimentation loads could clock infiltration systems and lead to
ponding water surfaces mosquito breeding.
Health Aspect
Costs
• Costs depend on the technology, topography and expert knowledge.
• A proper stormwater management avoids high costs caused by flood
damages.
• Collected water can be reused for groundwater recharge, urban landscaping
or farming, etc.

25. Operation and Maintenance
• All storm water management systems need a
proper O&M service. Regular maintenance extends the life of
storm water systems, improves site drainage, and reduces
pollution entering surface waters and groundwater.
Governmental facilities as well as private property owners are
responsible for O&M.
25
26. Treatment of Storm Water
• Contaminants in water may include algae, air pollution, bird
excrement, and leaves, sand, and dust. Local wells have dealt
with these problems for decades.
• Installation of filtration and purification equipment can remove
these contaminants at home as well.
• First, take measures to keep foreign matter out of the incoming
rain water, flush devices, gutter screens and other screening
mechanisms keep the rainwater as clean as possible before it
enters the conveyance system.
• Mainly used treatment process are;
Filtration & Uv treatment
Chlorination
Solar Pasteurization 26
27. Role of Infrastructure
• Green infrastructure
It is functioned as water management that protects, restores, or
mimics the natural water cycle.
• Grey infrastructure
It is man-made designed to move urban storm-water away from
the built environment. Both infrastructure are involved in storm
water management system.
27
28. Conclusion
• Theoretically, storm water management is necessary in every
settlement, rural or urban, to protect human health, prevent
water pollution, (re-)use precipitation water (on agriculture or
household level) and prevent damages to infrastructure.
• It is essential in urban areas where constructed surfaces change
the hydraulic properties and prevent infiltration. The whole
management has to be adapted to the local conditions (climate,
topography, resources, etc.)
• Therefore, expert knowledge is required.
