Abstract: In consideration of the application universality of models and the upgrading possibility of softwares, we make a review on eight urban stormwater management models based on green infrastructure (GI) measures. Thesemodels have been applied widely in recent years. Firstly, the eight models are classified in terms of the rain and runoff water quality control, GI economic benefit analysis, integrated model of GI stormwater management and economic analysis, respectively. Secondly, the eight models are described in detail with regard to five major criteria including representative GI measures, spatial scales, algorithms used for modeling, data inputs and outputs, and user interface and handling of the tool. Thirdly, the eight models are compared in terms of the number of GI measures they can represent, modeling approaches, data requirements, modeling accuracy, and regional limitations. Fourthly, the application of several models in China are analyzed, and the problems urgent to be solved are also pointed out. Finally, in view of the advantages and disadvantages of the current models, we proposed the direction and trend of the development of urban stormwater management models in future. This study is designed to help urban stormwater managers and researchers to understand the fundamental knowledge of different GI stormwater management models, and help them to select appropriate model in practice according to their needs.
