Abstract
Today, hydrological modeling is very important in runoff management. The impervious surfaces in Tehran have increased due to the increase in construction. This has caused floods and waterlogging in the city. Therefore, in this research, hydrological modeling of a part of Tehran city (Eastern catchment basin) has been done using GPM satellite daily rainfall data of 2018 in SWMM software. Then, at the end, the obtained results have been compared with the master plan of Tehran's surface water management. The results showed that in comparison of the peak runoff resulting from the modeling with the 25-year and 50-year plan, in 30 sub-basins the peak runoff from the modeling is higher than the 25-year plan and in 51 sub-basins the peak runoff from the modeling is less than the 25-year plan, in 36 sub-basins The runoff resulting from the modeling is more than the 50-year plan, and in 45 sub-basins, the peak runoff from the modeling is less than the 50-year plan
