Floodwise: Automated Flood Management and Control System

FLOODWISE is an innovative automated flood management system designed to mitigate flooding and repurpose water efficiently. The system integrates a flood indicator, a biofiltration setup, and an eco roof. These components work in synergy to convert floodwater and rainwater into usable water for non-potable purposes such as washing and flushing. By combining real-time flood monitoring with sustainable water treatment and storage solutions, FLOODWISE aims to enhance urban water resilience and promote eco-friendly water usage practices.

This is how I came up with the idea for this project:

The idea was born out the search for possible solution to the annual flooding disaster in my community, I have a first hand experience of the negative impact of flooding and my idea is to repurpose the flood water for household use and irrigation.
