N2  - There is increasing recognition in developed countries overseas that stormwater management needs to be undertaken in a safer and more ecologically sustainable manner. Stormwater should be regarded as an asset and a resource to be valued, rather than traditional attitude of regarding it as a nuisance to be disposed of as quickly as possible. Stormwater management practices need to be broadened to consider environmental issues such as water quality, aquatic habitats, and riparian vegetation and social issues such as aesthetics, recreation and economics.

Urban stormwater system consists of various integrated components, each of which is intended to perform one or more functions in controlling the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff. Many of these components are out of sight or are small and easily overlooked.

This paper presents the pollutants present in the stormwater using Remote Sensing and GIS. The chemical and biological monitoring of stormwater systems can provide valuable information on the existing characteristics of a system and the performance of stormwater management practices. Clean stormwater helps keep our rivers, lakes, beaches healthy. Keeping our stormwater clean also provides us with new opportunities for stormwater harvesting and reuse. This helps us to protect our precious water reserves
