Urban adaptation to climate change asks for a more careful stormwater drainage design and management. In Italy, in those Regions where some stormwater regulation has been enforced, the common approach is built on the concept of ‘hydraulic invariance’. Based on the British urban runoff management policies, the paper identifies some key principles and criteria allowing for a wider implementation of sustainable and resilient urban drainage systems.

Keywords: Hydraulic invariance; adaptation; climate change; SUDS; flood risk
