The study aimed to develop a decision-making activity to determine the efficiency of the storm water drainage network in the Middle East, specifically in Basra, Iraq. Climatic data were collected from the Directorate of Meteorology and Seismic Monitoring for the period year 1979 to 2018 in this investigation. The International Geographic System is used to determine the map of the study area and work on it to determine the direction of flow, pipe levels, and the levels of inspection holes. In this study the researcher used a program of minimization of statistical information to predict rainfall amounts until the end of the 21st century based on the collected database. The rain storm management model is used to obtain the results of the flooding of the rain stream network. The results showed that a large percentage of the storm water drainage network is exposed to flooding, which requires reviewing the design of the current system and making it withstand these large amounts of rain to control floods and prevent damage to infrastructure and avoid high financial losses.
