ABSTRACT
In the European Union (EU) sixth Framework project “Sustainable Water Management Improves Tomorrow’s Cities Health” (SWITCH, 2010), Stormwater Management is one of the six research themes. Its objectives include the development of concepts of sustainable stormwater resource use which cities can utilize for their own stormwater management strategies,

and to identify catchment-scale stormwater management strategies for integration into urban land management planning. The research theme has investigated and produced reports on the use of alternative hybrid and retro-’t technological approaches, including constructed wetlands for stormwater control which contribute aesthetically to the urban environment and provide acceptable levels of prevention/protection against «ooding, water pollution, and water shortage when exposed to extreme events and conditions (Scholes and Shutes, 2007; Shutes, 2009).
