This paper presents the outcomes of a research project which focused on developing a set of surrogate parameters to evaluate urban stormwater quality using simulated rainfall Use of surrogate parameters has the potential to enhance the rapid generation of urban stormwater quality data based on on-site measurements and thereby reduce resource intensive laboratory analysis The samples collected from rainfall simulations were tested for a range of physico-chemical parameters which are key indicators of nutrients solids and organic matter The analysis revealed that [total dissolved solids (TDS) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC)] [total solids (TS) and total organic carbon (TOC)] [turbidity (TTU)] [electrical conductivity (EC)] [TTU and EC] as appropriate surrogate parameters for dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) total phosphorus (TP) total suspended solids (TSS) TDS and TS respectively Relationships obtained for DTN-TDS DTN-DOC and TP-TS demonstrated good portability potential The portability
