Stormwater runoff is an important avenue for pollutant transport from impermeable surfaces to surface waters.Consequently, stormwater pollutions require additional treatment processes to achieve water quality goals. Naturalsorbents have been demanded and studied for using in water treatment because of their low cost and safety. In this studythe use of Acorus Calamus, row Hemp, and procedure Hemp in stormwater treatment was investigated. Results of studyin all sorbents with different concentrations and dosage indicated high efficiency to reduce pH. The use of AcorusCalamus for Turbidity, Phosphorus, conductivity and colour resulted increasing amount in different Dosage. In anotherexperiments, using row Hemp, procedure Hemp and Linseed as natural sorbents indicated high efficiency to reduceturbidity of stormwater. Also it is obtained that procedure Hemp has high efficiency to reduce conductivity of stormwater.
