Abstract

The importance of urban floods can be considered because of the harmful effects they can have on urban structure, human health and the environment. Therefore, familiarity with stormwater management and how to assess damage and deal with it to minimize and control it is very important in urban management systems. There are several methods for flood control that are considered depending on the hydraulic conditions. The use of main canals for surface water collection, flow diversion, catchment management, etc. are among the methods considered by urban designers. Meanwhile, the use of various software such as SSA, HEC-RAS and the use of engineering tools such as GIS in its environment has attracted the attention of many researchers. In this paper, the hydraulic studies of Mianrud canal in the area of District 5 of Tehran Municipality, which is one of the important surface drainage arteries of Tehran, have been considered with the help of mathematical model for flood risk zoning. Vulnerable areas have been identified and finally management strategies to control and reduce flood risks have been discussed according to the river regime and the conditions of the region.
