| Abstract: | |
| Every year Pakistan face flooding due to torrential monsoon rains in summer. It has caused loss of lives and billions in economy. One of the major issues is urban flooding. It is defined as: Urban flooding is the inundation of land or property in a built environment, particularly in more densely populated areas, caused by rainfall overwhelming the capacity of drainage systems, such as storm sewers. While urban flooding ensues several catastrophes, one of the major problems is flood water entering houses, shops and other buildings. Many houses and buildings are located in places which regularly get inundated during torrential rains for several reasons including unfortunate location, poor city drainage etc. This causes unnecessary economic losses and inconvenience. Currently Pakistan has no standard available solution. Therefore, people try to prevent the water from entering their buildings with their own solutions primarily by putting sandbags in front of the entry or by building temporary masonry walls. While the sandbags are effective at the job it has several issues. For instance, they are too heavy and cumbersome to relocate, they require a lot of storage space etc. And they do not completely block water especially after they are sufficiently wet. In short, there need to be a well designed and effective solution to flooding of buildings to prevent damages. The objective of this project is to provide a budget friendly practical solution that directly addresses the above need. A smart portable domestic flood gate will be developed. This smart invention will prevent the flood water to enter into the houses etc. It can be easily installed and removed. The device will require minimal maintenance. | |
