Rainwater storage is very important as a sustainable and practical solution for managing water resources, especially in places with dry and semi-arid conditions such as Iran. This method has been considered as a strategic solution in response to environmental challenges and agricultural and drinking needs. There are various structures for collecting and storing rainwater, the most important of which is the reservoir in Hormozgan. The possibility of using the rainwater stored in this pond to irrigate urban greenery has been the focus and goal of this research. For this purpose, Bibi Pond in Qeshm Island was chosen. For this purpose, the volume of water stored in this pond was calculated.Next, other parks and green spaces around the pond were investigated and their area and details were estimated. The results showed that there are 73 trees and shrubs and about 3400 m2 of green space (grass) in this park and its surrounding area. Estimates showed that the main reservoir of the covered pond and the open side pond are able to store about 400 and 1000 m3 of water, respectively, and this volume of water can supply the water needed for irrigating the green space of the park and the adjacent area in the major part of the year or at least in the stressful time (warm season). This issue will show the unique capacity of such structures for non-drinking purposes in urban environments and therefore should be considered in the planning and management of urban runoff.
