As the predominant land use of a catchment area changes from rural to urban, the alterations to the natural surface cover are frequently radical that the provision for stormwater quantity and quality control becomes indispensable for the protection of lives and property. Hence the stormwater runoff quantity and quality modeling were carried out. The volume of stormwater runoff generated in the urbanised area for various return period was estimated using StormNET model. StormNET is a package comprising of hydrology, design of drainage network and graphic displays etc. The stormwater quantity modeling involves the computation of peak runoff, surface runoff volume and detention pond design to reduce the peak runoff. The stormwater quality modeling involves the quality characteristics of urban runoff, pollutant buildup, washoff rates and evaluating the effectiveness of Best Management Practices (BMPs) for reducing the pollutant loadings.
