The Northeast Boundary Tunnel is an important part of DC Water's Clean Rivers project. It helps to improve the water quality of the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. How? In the event of sewer floods, the tunnel contributes to significantly mitigating the frequency and, more importantly, the duration of these floods. Click on the link to learn more about this great American project. #Webuild ...a strategic and ambitious project to mitigate the frequency, extent and duration of sewer flooding and improve the water quality of the Anacostia River.

Rain is in the forecast again. We shouldn't have to worry every time it rains. In addition to larger commercial and industrial surfaces, municipal parking surfaces such as commuter lots, libraries, schools and government offices should take the steps to include green infrastructure and permeable pavers. Leading by example has never been more relevant! It's challenging to know the best way to approach change, but we all agree change is necessary! #stormwater #stormwatermanagement #flooding #rain #summerrain #greeninfrastructure #permeable #permeablepaver https://lnkd.in/eBDax6q2

💧 Reducing flood risk and improving resilience. 🔦 Project spotlight: Don Regulators. On the gates of the River Rother, JBA Bentley are working with the Environment Agency to replace three strategically placed regulator gates, which reduce the risk of flooding to settlements within the Don catchment. 👉 Read more about the project: https://lnkd.in/eGa6qxEg #floodrisk #floodmitigation #engineering #flooding

"Automatic protection: A self-closing flood barrier in action, rising with the water to defend against flooding." A self-closing flood barrier is an automatic flood defense system that rises with the water level during a flood and retracts when the water recedes. It consists of a buoyant barrier housed in a trough below ground level. When floodwater enters the trough, the buoyancy of the barrier causes it to float and rise, effectively blocking the floodwater from entering protected areas. As the water level drops, the barrier gradually lowers back into its housing, out of sight. This system requires no manual intervention or external power, making it highly reliable and ideal for protecting infrastructure and properties in flood-prone areas. It's commonly used in urban settings and along riverbanks. video rights : SelfClosingFloodBarrier-Vietnam #flood #scfb #engineering #construction #civilengineering #civilconstruction #technology #engenharia #engenhariacivil

Why do we flood? On A2 ccn tv with Erion Johnny Dushi Infrastructure deficiencies. Many cities have outdated or inadequate drainage systems that cannot handle heavy rainfall, leading to urban flooding. This system is dominated by the one that was inherited, but is unable to cope with construction flows that are sufficiently out of control. Regular maintenance and improvement of sewerage systems, water and underground infrastructure is not a priority as there is no visibility.Erion Dushi

"Much of the nation's stormwater infrastructure, designed decades to a century ago to prevent floods, can exacerbate flooding during the severe weather events that are increasing around the globe, new research led by the University of Michigan demonstrates. The problem lies in traditional planning's failure to recognize flood connectivity: how surface runoff from driveways, lawns and streets—and the flows in river channels and pipes—are all interlinked. The result is interactions, often unanticipated, between different stormwater systems that can make flooding worse." #infrastructure #flooding

Excellent barrier for flood prone countries… (which country isn’t, even Singapore) Most countries devoid of deep drainage system.. a little rain and plastic waste are all it takes to cause flooding and property damage.. let alone human lives.. So much thoughts had gone into this design and it’s definitely a smart design. My only concern is when too much sludge or sand goes under and prevents the mechanism from lowering itself.. the drain cover would be a possible tripping hazard.

Very simple but impressively effective! 🤔 Well done 👏

Very interesting, the cost of this action would be high but the cost of inaction could be higher. We are living in a new paradigm called “global warming” these innovative solutions may save businesses, property and lives.
