Abstract

Urbanization and climate change have negative effects on the changes of natural hydrological regime (precipitation and runoff regime), which results with more frequent floods and landslides. Besides of the increased quantity of the stormwater that drainage channels have to collect, negative consequences of urbanization are also evident through increased pollution of runoff stormwater. Therefore, the drainage system and stormwater management should be adapted to these changes so that the negative effects of new hydrological conditions of precipitation and runoff and stormwater pollution in the urban areas are mitigated. This article aims at presenting challenges and opportunities for the advancement of stormwater management practices in urban areas. Some of urban stormwater management technologies are presented. These technologies are more used in urban areas of some countries of Europe.
