Express Flood Mitigation using elevated large scale Aqueducts with main function to divert flood water away from cities with discharge above high tide levels considering global warming and rising sea water level.

The solutions are methods which can be used to elevate flood water to have direct discharge above the sea water level which the current convention method failed to perform.

Today’s approach for flood mitigation have major limitation when the sea water level rises, which prevent or reduce the capacity to discharge the flood water effective.

This invention features systems to channel the excess flood water directly towards the sea by elevating the flood water above the high tide before discharging to the sea.

The system will act as a reliable failure proof mechanism to defend the low laying areas which are subject to flooding when the heavy rainfall occurs during sea surge.

With the invention managed and implemented the system will be the third generation flood mitigation system which will contribute in savings lives and reducing the potential loss of the properties and economy of a country.

The suffering and poor people who are victims of flood cause by global warming and rise in sea water levels can be eliminated or reduced significantly by using our innovation of third generation flood mitigation works.

The invention can also be used to solve water shortages by supplying water, recharging ground water and also used for irrigation.

Current flood mitigation measures generally involve the construction of monsoon drains, flood walls, floodgates, river dykes or bunds, weirs, diversion culverts or dams based on site suitability and the characteristics of river. Sometimes, rivers are dug deeper to increase the water holding and flow capacity

The conventional methods can be classified as 1st and 2nd generation. The 1st generation mainly consist of river widening, deepening, strengthening, off river storage or earth detention ponds. Where else the 2nd generation flood mitigation was developed when the concrete and steel technology started to dominate the construction industry. The second generation of flood mitigation consist of deep detention ponds, underground diversion culverts and tunnels.

Despite having the 1st and 2nd generation mechanism for flood mitigation, certain inland areas are still prone to flooding during wet and monsoon seasons, especially when downpours are heavy. This is because the structures do not directly mitigate excess rainwater or overflows along existing river or drain paths, as such, additional water management structures that can hold water and divert large volumes of excess water directly to the sea are needed to address the flood issues in low lying areas, due to storm surge and sea water rise.

The innovation can also be integrated with aqua arteries (large underground monsoon drains installed to collect excess flood water from surface monsoon drains) which will deliver the flood water to the aqueducts. The flood water from aqua arteries will be then pumped on the aqueducts, which will rapidly discharge the flood water to the sea, above high tide or storm surge. Aqua arteries can also be used as capacity enhancement for undersized or under capacity monsoon drains.

This third-generation flood mitigation system with the various combination, especially with aqua arteries and plurality pumps, pumping flood waters onto aqueduct for direct discharge will assist in reducing potential loss of lives, properties and economy.
