Developing and implementing a stonnwater management strategy requires several keycomponents. Research must be undertaken to develop local rainfall distribution statistics,determine stonnwater pollutant loading characteristics, determine the effectiveness of variousstonnwater treatment practices and identify design criteria for each type of the bestmanagement practice. The practice of urban stonnwater management has until recentlyfocused only on drainage and flood control. But now days more and more concern are takento reduce pollution's wash out loads to water recipients by implementing source controlmanagement, on-site treatment and building stonnwater pollution control facilities. In thearticle overview and basic principals of stonnwater quality management are presented.General stonnwater treatment and pollutant removal mechanisms are explained. Swnmaryresults of study of the pollution removal in constructed wetlands for stonnwater treatment aredescribed.

Surface Flow Constructed Wetlands

GIS-based approach to find the suitable sites for surface flow constructed wetlands was employed for the Lithuanian river basins with low ecological status. According to the nature of the analysed criteria the flowchart consists of two phases. Criteria used include hydrographical network, soil properties, terrain features, land use, etc. Some of them have strictly defined values (constraints), and other ranges within certain limits (factors). Limited criteria were analysed using rejection principle and influencing factors using proximity analysis and overlay methods. Selecting the potential sites using standard GIS analysis tools there was estimated about 3286 sites for possible wetlands with the mean area of inflow basin about 4 km2 in the basins of water bodies at risk.

The City

After changing its city branding several times, Semarang now has a new city branding, namely "Semarang Variety of Culture." However, the city branding reaped contra from academics and cultural figures because Semarang was considered not sufficient yet in terms of representing its cultural diversity. Responding to this, the Semarang City Government and the Semarang City Public Works Department created a public service advertisement on CCTV socialization for flood control in the city of Semarang with a transgender figure as the ad star. This research was qualitative research designed with Seymour Chatman's Narrative Analysis. The research found a commodification and objectification of transgender people who imitated the feminine style of women in the advertisement. In other words, the public service announcement of Semarang CCTV socialization lowered the femininity, which is synonymous with women.The public service advertisement also violated the moral codes adopted by the majority of the Indonesian people.
