What is "run-off canal"?
He also urged that the Tiber be paved over to create a roadway where the New Italy could be celebrated with huge military parades. It is probably as well that he did not get his way on the last proposal, though the RUN-OFF CANAL might have served Rome well.

Here is my guess, though it would really be best if a civil engineer would step forward and answer your question. ;)
A run-off canal is a water channel such as a stream or small river typically used for the discharge of contaminants. Otherwise, such contaminants discharge from their source by flowing over a surface, for instance, by flowing over land rather than through a canal.
So paving over (that is, enclosing) the Tiber River would have essentially turned it into a sort of hidden canal to be used for the discharge of various kinds of wastes, such as sewage.
I hope this makes some sense to you! :)
