New Methods of Urban Runoff Control Management for Sustainable Development

Rapid population growth and urban life cause irreparable damage to nature and particularly water resources and thus has endangered many natural resources. Consequently, the serious crisis of water resources due to the recent drought, leads water-providing organizations, and water suppliers to look for new sources of water. Therefore, some useful guidelines can be used for sustainable development such as surface and waste water management in cities and metropolitan areas as well as recycling or reusing water resources. In this paper, a review of the technical literature on the importance of undrinkable water and using new techniques to control urban runoff and its quality control procedures was carried out. A study among published works and a review of international cases was used for research theoretical concepts. Some new methods have been recommended to control runoff such as the use of artificial wetlands, Retention Basin, porous boxes, modern drainage system were the results of the study. Coclusion: A simple method to collect and utilize rainfall was introduced.
