Abstract
Stormwater in urban areas comprises of a substantial part of the urban water cycle, dominating
the flow in many small urban streams, and the pollution levels are sizeable. No stormwater
quality criteria were found here and no European or national emission limit values exist.
Stormwater pollutants however are present in levels exceeding most of the regulated surface
water quality criteria and environmental quality standards. Therefore catchment characterisation
is needed to chose suitable treatment prior to discharge into receiving surface waters, as
the mixing may be insufficient in small streams.
