In recent years, United Arab Emirates has experienced several flash flood events and extreme cyclonic events that resulted in flooding various parts of the country. This in return raised concerns on the preparedness of the infrastructure to such events considering the damage caused by them. Roads were blocked from the excessive rainfall water leading to heavy traffic jams, houses were drowned and cars were swept away. Therefore, an in-depth study was performed on a selected area of interest in the city of Ras Al-Khaimah (UAE) to explore the risks associated with flash flood events and to propose solutions for flood management. Hydrological and hydraulic models were used to simulate precipitation runoffs and calculate flood magnitudes in order to plan and design new flood control and hydraulic structures. Using the output of the hydrologic and hydraulic models, a dam and a protection channel were proposed as possible solutions to resolve flood issues in the selected area. It was concluded that with proper hydrologic modelling, flash floods can be managed to a great extent and damage to the infrastructure can be minimized. It is even more important in context of climate change that such modelling techniques should be part of urban planning and design of infrastructure drainage systems for areas that are prone to heavy rainfall and floods.
