Introduction
Storm Water
● Storm water is rain or melted snow that has fall into the ground. This
water either is absorbed by plantation, evaporates or runs off the land
into storm sewers, streams and lakes.
● Urban stormwater management involves the planning, design, and
implementation of planning to effectively manage rainfall runoff in urban
areas.
● Urban stormwater management uses techniques like green infrastructure
and drainage systems to prevent flooding and pollution in cities.
Importance of Strom water Management
● Storm water management prevents

physical damage to persons and
property from flooding, and also
prevents polluted runoff from
negatively impacting local waterways.
● The installation of impervious surfaces
interrupts the natural hydrologic cycle,
and causes less infiltration, interception
and evapotranspiration than was
present before any development
occurred. Fig No:01 IMPORTANCE OF MANAGEMENT
• Tell about the typical weather
patterns in your country
throughout the calendar year.
Fig No 2: This map illustrate the difference between pre-development and past
development.
The Challenge of Urban Stormwater
1. In urban environments, stormwater
runoff can lead to significant
environmental issues, such as
increased flood risk, water quality
degradation, and the exacerbation of
sewer overflows.
2. Urban stormwater management
systems aim to mitigate these
challenges through various techniques.

Urban Stormwater Management
• Human settlements disturb the natural water cycle and creates flood sand
water pollution:
• > Natural vegetation is often removed and rivers are canalised
• > Surfaces are impermeable
• >Ground water resource decrease, fresh water become scarce

>The clouds release precipitation, which falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or
hail.

back into the atmosphere.
Urban Storm Water Management
• There are several techniques to

manage surface runoff. They are
divided in two groups.

• >Infiltration Type Devices

The practice of managing freshwater, wastewater, and storm water links with in

Including
•Consumption efficiency
•Ensure water quality Alternative sources
•Engage communities
•Establish and implement policies and strategies
•Support capacity development of personnel and institutions
•Improve economic efficiency of services
How it can Optimize SSWS
• Stormwater Management
helps to collect, treat and (re-
)use runoff water; to avoid
contamination and
destruction; and to restore
the disturbed
urban water cycle!

enough to settle solids.

ADDITIONAL AREATION
• Primarily designed improve
stormwater quality.
• Secondary flood control devices.
• Retention Ponds do not dry out,
water stays between 2 and 4 weeks.
• Water quality improvement mainly
through settling.
Rain Water 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.
Rooftop rainwater harvesting

Green Roofs
• 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)
Green roofs on top of the floor

Constructed wetlands
• Designed to manage peak flows

and improve water quality of
surface runoff.
• Restoring natural habitats in
cities (recreation, birdlife, etc.).
Possible design is a pond

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 Infiltration Trenches Techniques
outdoor parking lots.
GRASS FILTER STRIPES
• Densely vegetated and graded

areas.
• Slowing runoff velocity, trapping
sediments and pollutants and
providing modest infiltration.
GRASS FILTER STRIPES

INFILTRATION BASIN
• Constructed facility with highly

permeable soils.
• Water infiltrates into surrounding
soil and gets treated.
GRASSED SWALES
• Open grassed channels, which

allow an infiltration along the
course.
• Check dams and vegetation reduce
velocity, and allow sedimentation,
infiltration, evapotranspiration
and contaminant temproval.

Urban stormwater management is a multifaceted approach that

incorporates various techniques to manage rainwater effectively. By
understanding and implementing these methods, cities can mitigate the
impacts of stormwater runoff and create more resilient, sustainable urban
environments.
