Abstract
Urbanization has some severe flood events and flood sequences in Tulkarem city which is one
of the Palestinian cities which witness frequent floods where followed by severe consequences.
In this graduation project, the focus will be on studying the frequent flood problem of the
eastern entrance of Tulkarem. The road section from Noor Shams camp to Kitaba Square will
be studied.
The methodology that will be applied is to estimate peak flow rates of different cross culverts of
Wadi Al-Zimar. The culverts will be hydraulically evaluated and redesign. HEC-HMS software
will be utilized for peak flow estimate, whereas HY8 will be used for hydraulic design of
culverts. In addition, GIS will be used for spatial manipulation of data.
The results obtained will be of high value for Tulkarem municipality to properly solve the
frequent flood problem in this area
