The subject is deliberately dealt in a widened form, what, if on the other hand it limits the deepening technician knowledge of some substances, for another one, raises this subject boarding, to a pluridisciplinarity higher platform, essential characteristic to any territory intervening. The reflection constructed along this work, evidences that the ground waterproofing problem, over all, constitutes an urban planning problem, being its correct practical, the key of the problems resolution. The reflection that supports this evidence, seats in three sources. The first one recognizes the resultant problems dimension of ground waterproofing and elects its two bigger typologies: urban flooding and urban heat island effect. Second, it develops the knowledge of some existing methods and calculations, used to measure the found problems, which become useful in sizing adopting solutions. In this sequence, characteristics of existing solutions are also explored here, as with related prevention, as with related identified problems mitigation, as well, its cumulative and combined actuation form. Finally, the third source emphasizes the importance that must have the knowledge on implementation difficulties of the identified solutions. Only with this knowledge, becomes possible to praise in a serious form, an effective large-scale introduction of solutions. For this effect, some normative types of planning instruments are analyzed, in that it respects to its concerns with the question of
the ground waterproofing control, since the national level until the city council level, in
Portugal. Based on above enunciated three sources, it’s concluded that the ground
waterproofing problem has a very peculiar characteristic, its territorial cumulative effect. In consequence, it is also concluded that, on the bases of the urban planning politics, there must be sustainable principles, where the individual contributions are determinant, for the success of global solutions.
