Özet:

Water, which is a source of life, cannot realize its natural cycle with increasing impervious surfaces and decreasing vegetation as a result of unplanned urbanization. This situation, which jeopardizes water availability, also causes floods and overflows in cities. As a result, sustainable rainwater systems are needed in countries around the world. Şükrüpaşa, Fatih and Kocasinan neighborhoods, which are dense urban areas in the central district of Edirne province and in need of flood management, were selected as the study area. It is aimed to ensure the infiltration of rainwater from the highest elevation to the lowest elevation of the city and to reduce surface runoff. The current situation of the study area was examined by looking at meteorological data, satellite images, topography and infrastructure. By looking at the basin structure and topography data of the area, streets showing flood risk were identified. As a result of the field investigations, the surface flow direction for rainwater was determined. The existing vegetation cover of the streets was analyzed in the field. The amount of urban green space, roof surface and hard surface throughout the study area was calculated and the amount of rainwater to be collected by storage was determined. In line with all the data, the rainwater harvesting potential of the area was determined and solutions were proposed to reduce runoff in areas with surface runoff.
