The main problems faced by any city at present are: reduction of natural resources, environmental degradation, increased carbon dioxide, demographic and social changes associated with the urbanization and population growth phenomenon as well as increased frequency and size of floods urban.Stormwater collection is a strategy for adapting to climate change. This strategy has been applied by many civilizations in the history of mankind, pluvial water collection systems have met, for the first time, in areas with long droughts. At present, rainwater collection is gaining interest worldwide, not just to store water during droughts, but also to cope with extreme rainfall, and therefore have a significant impact on rainwater management. An important consequence of climate change is the change in the ratio between periods with extreme rainfall and periods of drought. The city infrastructure is not prepared for these changes, the consequences being accounted for in material damage and health risks to the population. In this paper we aim to highlight the main measures to adapt to climate change from the point of view of pluvial water resources management.
