Flood Control Systems

Flood control systems are designed to manage and reduce the risk of flooding by regulating water flow and protecting communities. They include structures like dams, levees, and reservoirs that store excess water during heavy rains, preventing it from overflowing into homes and streets. Other components, such as drainage channels and floodwalls, direct water away from vulnerable areas. These systems are planned based on geographic and weather data to balance water management needs, safeguard property, and protect lives. Properly functioning flood control measures help communities recover quickly and minimize damage when heavy rain or storms occur.
