The development of urbanized areas leads to abiding negative changes in the landscape. The percentage of impermeable surfaces in the cities is increasing. Currently, efforts are being made to replace paved surfaces with alternative materials that contribute to reducing surface runoff. The aim of this paper is to get acquainted briefly with legislation dealing with the issue of rainwater management, with standards ensuring the correct design of rainwater infiltration devices and with the quality requirement of infiltrated water. In the second part, the paper summarizes the knowledge from the given area.
