| Short description: |
This report represents a comprehensive review of the current state of knowledge on the use and
performance of BMPs for stormwater treatment and control. It has been prepared as part of the
EC funded DayWater project through contributions provided by several partners based on both
their extensive knowledge and specific expertise of stormwater BMPs. An emphasis has been
placed on the design, operation, maintenance and costing of stormwater BMPs, with particular
regard to country specific factors. The accepted use of these systems varies with a wide range
of structural and non- structural BMPs being employed in northern and temperate European
countries for stormwater control, whereas their applicability is less well developed in southern
European countries such as Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. An exception to this is street
cleaning, which appears to be a common practice throughout Europe. There also appear to be
patterns or trends in the types of BMPs preferred within various countries, with for example,
rainwater harvesting being a popular stormwater BMP in France and Germany, but practised to
a lesser extent in other European countries.
