We're applying for LEED for New Construction in Doha, Qatar.
The question is: where can I find information about the alternative of ESC plan? since the rain in this zone -hot zone- is not a concern at all.
Is there any alternative path? Any similar cases? any Ideas?
You rely on LEEDuser. Can we rely on you?

Eyad, I would recommend starting with LEEDuser's guidance above (you'll need to log in as a paid member to view this content). Your specific question isn't answered, but after reading the guidance there and samples in the Documentation Toolkit, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to earn this prerequisites in non-U.S., non-conventional situations.

Dear Babar & Mehmood
I came across CIR for a project in Giza, Egypt where ruling says it is acceptable to limit the construction pollution prevention plan to best practices in dust control and wind erosion. Any how the precipitation in Doha is almost twice that Giza. So you need to calculate if there are potential runoff from the site and work out of the plan accordingly

Thanks for the info Bazeeth. The averagre rain fall in giza is about 27 or 28mm approx. in August max and min is approx. 2 or 3 mm and all over the year average rain fall is approx. 6 mm (0-25mm) while in Riyadh the average rain fall all over the year goes to 9mm. In Case of Doha, the average rainfall throughout the year is apprxo. 78 mm ( 3mm-78mm). So, the average rain fall is 3 times the Doah's one. This means we dont have to care about the rainfall problem since it's very minimal in riyadh. Only have to do some soil stabilization solutions, i think. Need your advice. And one more thing. We will still use the CGP guidelines or we are going to use the CIR for this case. Thanks,
Regards,
Babar
