Title: Retrofitting Urban Drainage Systems Using Best Stormwater Management Practices — Some Scandinavian Experiences
Abstract: Many structural and non-structural BMPs have been tested in Denmark and Sweden during the last decade; some of them on a large scale and some on an experimental scale. Experiences gained are not consistent, and the actual effects of BMPs on receiving water quality are not known or not understood. From a rational viewpoint, no further large-scale facilities should be constructed until such effects can be determined. However, there are several other driving forces that determine the development. One such a factor is the development of legal instruments and directives, both at a national level and the European Union level. Another important factor is the city planning in many cities, which currently often include "blue-green" areas with visible stormwater. A third driving force is the aim for sustainable solutions within the water and wastewater sector, which also puts demands on the management of stormwater.
