ABSTRACT: Umeå has had its troubles with flooding over the years. This study aims to describe and analyze flooding and stormwater management in the municipality of Umeå in Sweden. How the municipality is handling the responsibility to minimize the risk of flooding in problem areas and how they are planning to prevent flooding with stormwater management methods in both old and new districts of the city. With information gathered from the municipality itself and from other reports and websites of worth, I have compared the results I’ve gotten partly from my own field visits in the areas that are being planned for changes and partly from other reports. With that said, this study is a descriptive study with a focus on comparisons.
