Flood defence systems are structures that are installed or erected into certain areas in order to protect the properties from the threat of a flood. This type of protection may be accomplished by rerouting the incoming water from a flood so that it turns and goes safely around the area, rather than going straight through it and causing damage. These systems may also offer a different kind of flood protection, using the stable security of a wall that shields the property from high levels of water and keeps the water from getting through to the other side.
Demountable Protection Systems
A demountable system is a transferable structure that can be taken apart and moved from one place to another in the event that it is no longer needed at its current location. This option is suitable for those who do not plan on requiring this type of protection in one place for a continuing amount of time. This type of system has its disadvantages, though. It requires operation during the event of a flood, which carries the hazard of possibly running into a dangerous malfunction. This can result in damage to the area that the system was installed to protect.
Temporary Protection Systems
A temporary system designed to protect against flooding is very similar to a demountable system. The temporary system can also be moved from one place to the next, giving it the advantage of mobility, suitable for people who may not need their flood protection in one place indefinitely, but rather will need a system that can be moved around on occasion. It also carries the same risk of a malfunction occurring during the event of a flood. However, unlike the demountable system, this one is installed during the flood event, rather than beforehand, and is removed once the threat of a flood has passed.
Permanent Protection Systems
Permanent flood defence systems are the safest, since they are built to last. One of these systems may be created using steel and brick to build a permanent wall, designed to keep water from flooding over onto the other side. As with the other systems, this one has its pros and cons. Since it is built to remain in one place indefinitely, it cannot be transported once it is no longer necessary at its current location. However, the permanent system is more durable and there is no risk of an operational malfunction.
