The global climate change is a global concern. With the climate change, cities face with future irresistible disasters. Many cities have a large amount of water accumulation after a heavy rain, resulting in the damage of the urban system functions. Improving the ecological resilience of the urban water system is an effective method to consolidate the stability of the urban system. This paper reviews the research progress of the water management and resilience at home and abroad. From the perspective of the ecological resilience, an evaluation index system is built for the water ecology resilience and system of the urban design from the perspective of resilience. Strategies are proposed from the macro perspective (the region and its river basin), the medium perspective (the city and its river basin) and the micro perspective (blocks and their river basins). The realization approach is explored for the urban design under the perspective of the ecological resilience.
