The new concept of stormwater management was discussed in this paper, and some measures to improve the ability of stormwater management education (SME) in China were proposed. Through the analysis of the necessity of SME in China and its present situation, the current existing problems and further measures to improve SME were employed. According to the actual situation of China's development, mastering the experience and knowledge of SME from those developed countries, and exploring a suitable SME model for China with the spirit of independent innovation were needed; establishing the core idea of people-oriented, a strong professional knowledge, a "harmony" concept between human and nature, and furthermore, forming a running model with education quality assurance measures, were all required. Combined with good teaching models, the ability of SME in China will be improved steadily with new SME ideas.
