Integrated stormwater management is based on the natural processes in the w
ater cycle and the criteria for sustainable development. The aim of this pa
per was to investigate which integrated stormwater system components might
be suitable in cold climate regions. The evaluation was based on literature
reviews and studies made in Lulea, Northern Sweden. It was found that poro
us pavement, grassed waterways (swales, ditches), wet pond, and percolation
basin were the most suitable integrated stormwater system components in co
ld regions whereas dry basin, stormwater infiltration surfaces, and stormwa
ter reuse seemed to be the less suitable. Polluted snow may be treated at a
central (large-scale) snow deposit; cleaner snow may be placed in many loc
al snow depots.
