Storing rainwater during a rainfall and utilizing it later in a city is a useful way to solve water-logging of a city. This concept is known as spongy city. An application of this concept can be one of a concentrated water storage such as a lake and distributed storage units similar to numerous connected spongy blocks. In this paper, the distributed system is adapted, and provide a method of modelling and a simulation. This model can show the dynamic result of water logging deduced from given rain quantity, pipe dewatering rate and storage volume. It also serves as an early warning for potential dewatering of heavy rain which maintains the balance between avoiding water-logging and full water level in the water storage. The model can be used to calculate the capacity of water storage required for a set maximal rain quality. Consequently, the model is helpful in forecasting the status of water-logging and providing a suggested water storage design. In order to test the feasibility of a system based on the above modelling, a front-end device is designed. It can cooperate with a managing sever to plan the dewatering. The findings of the simulation indicate that the model is helpful and feasible.
