In Sweden there is a growing interest for sustainable storm water management. In many cities full scale facilities are being constructed and investigated. Examples of such facilities are storm water ponds, wetlands, open ditches, infiltration and percolation basins, and different treatment devices as settling tanks, lamella separators and others. In the paper examples of different solutions are given. Results from some investigations are presented and the advantages and disadvantages of different methods is discussed. Criteria for sustainability of storm water facilities are suggested.
