    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research is to establish whether stormwater runoff constituents can be linked to a specific land use. Comparing local runoff constituents gathered throughout the study with international published values, specifically the BMP database. Based on the information obtained during the research period, a preliminary design for a stormwater harvesting system is proposed. This was also inspired by the major drought in Cape Town at that time. During the study gaps within the stormwater management in South Africa were identified. There were definite comparable results between the samples that were tested and BMP database. With enough information sustainable drainage systems can be adapted and implemented to most new developments
