It is of upmost importance that the type of hydrological basin of the region should be established before developing its drainage strategy. Unlike exhoric basin which is characterised by well-defined pattern of streams and rivers ultimately discharging into the sea, Qatar's topography exhibits mix of arheic, and predominantly endorheic basin features i.e., rainwater drains to inland depressions to form temporary water bodies. Keeping drainage basin type in view, Al Khor drainage master is developed which function sustainably with the nature with aim to utilize drainage water to achieve Qatar National Vision 2030 and Qatar Water Strategy goals.
