Abstract:
More than 350 cities of Iran are subject to floods every year and flood phenomena cause annual 1,500,000,000,000 Rials loss to Iran. The reason for floods lie with lack of appropriate water management systems in terms of stormwater management. Current status of Iran water management calls for imitating the successful experience of other countries. The aim of this paper is to review better management frameworks for urban water management in regard of stormwater management in outstanding countries. In this paper, the concept of Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) is initially reviewed, then the proposed frameworks of stormwater management in the world are reviewed and the initiatives associated with stormwater management are offered. Finally, an implemented case of Malaysia is studied to verify the use of initiatives in real similar scales. Analysis of the results is conducted based on a proposed method of wighing the objectives of stormwater. The results show a great potential of employing WSUD initiatives in Iran
