This Stormwater Management Guidebook presents the different ways to reduce and manage stormwater runoff.This project was conceived with the aim of providing a comprehensive guidebook for Mauritius on stormwater management practices which promote groundwater recharge. Although, all efforts have been made to guide the reader with all the relevant information required for the implementation of stormwater management practices, this guidebook has two major limitations. For stormwater practices encouraging infiltration, landscaping plays a vital role in the design of the Stormwater management system. Hence, particular attention has to be paid to plant selection, their water requirements and their resistance to extreme droughts and excessive rain. Ideally, this guidebook should have contained a list of plants which could be used in stormwater management practices. However, during the literature review, no search information was found in the public domain. Hence, we believe that a study needs to be carried out on the different plants grown locally and their suitability to stormwater management practices be assessed. Secondly, the storm data provided by the Meteorological Services has been averaged for the whole island. However, it is a well known fact that rainfall intensity and durations vary all over the island. Using these averaged data can lead to the over sizing of stormwater management practices in some parts of the island. A more accurate approach will be to obtain storm data for representative regions of the island.
