Abstract
Water is one of the most important substances on earth. All plants and animals must have water
to survive. If there was no water there would be no life on earth.
In Kofr Ra'I town we noticed the great amount of stormwater, we noticed that in this town
doesn’t have a proper system that manages it, where heavy rain causes surface runoff, this
runoff comes from house roof, street, fields and mountains, and all the runoff water generated
from the storms is freely running on the streets, these accumulated run off can cause serious
and destructive problems if we don’t have an adequate infrastructure to drain it, so a proper
stormwater collection network design is necessary for Kofr Ra'I town, in order to be able to
collect and to convey the stormwater from the streets to a good disposal area, and this network
will reduce the problem of flooded and destructive.
The output from this graduation project was a proper design for stormwater collection network
for Kofr Ra'I town that meets the design specifications and allows a good drainage water
collection and transport.
