Stormwater Treatment

The discharge of rainwater from separate systems into water bodies is still done, in most cases, without prior treatment. Numerous publications address the problem of stormwater pollution and the significant amount of pollutants released into nature.

Due to the high treatment level and costs of waste water, within the treatment plant, it simply doesn’t make sense to consider stormwater and sewage water, equally, within a combined or a separate system.

Water treatment usually takes place at a central station. However; there are also more and more decentralized facilities that enable targeted emission treatment. The following pages show the various options along with their constraints. In addition to this, you will also find valuable information on stormwater pollution.
