With the intensification of climate change and the increasing frequency and severity of extreme precipitation events, the risk of flooding and its associated damages has risen significantly; consequently, the development of integrated flood management approaches for vulnerable areas and critical infrastructure has become increasingly essential. The Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine Complex, as one of the country’s most important industrial and economic hubs, is located adjacent to the Shur River and along the Torshab Stream. The history of destructive floods in this area underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive flood management plan. This research aims to develop an integrated flood management framework through complementary hydrological and hydraulic investigations. First, through site visits, analysis of historical flood records, and hydraulic modeling using HEC-RAS, critical flood-prone locations were identified, and the conveyance capacity of the river, streams, and major watercourses was evaluated. Appropriate structural and management strategies were proposed for each area based on the 500-year return period flood and were checked against the 1000-year return period flood. Subsequently, the current surface stormwater collection system was evaluated in the case study area, and a proposed system for runoff diversion and flood control was designed by Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis. The results demonstrate that integrating protective strategies along the main flow directions with optimization of the surface stormwater collection system significantly enhances runoff conveyance capacity, reduces flood risk, improves the safety of critical infrastructure, and strengthens stormwater management across the complex. The primary contribution of this research is the development of an integrated flood management framework that combines hydraulic analysis of rivers and streams, identification of critical locations, design of protective strategies, and optimization of the surface stormwater collection system into a unified management plan. In addition to enhancing the flood resilience of the Sarcheshmeh Copper Mine Complex, the proposed framework can be used as a practical model for flood planning, design, and management in other mining complexes and industrial areas.
