Stormwater system are necessary to convey urban runoff from a city in order to avoid floods in urban areas. Large water volumes of urban runoff bring important changes to natural water flow regime not only in a city but also downstream bringing pollution to entire river basin .The paper gives the rationale and principles of new development within urban storrnwater management. Two detailed application examples of new storrnwater management are presented in the paper.
