Abstract
The northern coasts of Egypt are exposed to irregular directions of precipitation sometimes increase and decrease at other times, which requires specialists to look for new methods in dealing with rain in order to take advantage of rainwater for different purposes as well as to protect the infrastructure from the effects of increased rainfall in urban areas and protect human lives from increasing runoff in the streets. There are a lot of methods that using in the drainage system and preserve stormwater, modern countries used green infrastructure practices as One of the most effective methods to manage the stormwater to achieve sustainable solutions for excess runoff and keep a healthy environment for its citizens. This paper summarizes the most technics of the green infrastructure practices, produce a review of the most famous models of green infrastructure (GI) practices (RECARGA model, SWMM, WIN SLAMM, LIDRA TOOL, and CNT model), explain the conclusion of recent research about the development of SWMM model as it widely uses in all the world in the field of stormwater management and finally compare between these models and show the recommendation for the future research.
