How Flood Control Channels Save Cities!

Flood control channels play a critical role in protecting cities from the destructive power of stormwater and flooding. Designed to safely move large volumes of water away from neighborhoods, roads, and critical infrastructure, these engineered systems help prevent property damage, erosion, and loss of life during heavy rainfall events. From concrete-lined channels to naturalized waterways, flood control systems are a key part of urban planning in flood-prone areas around the world.

In this video, we explore how flood control channels work, why they are necessary, and how they support growing cities as weather patterns become more extreme. Whether you’re curious about civil engineering, infrastructure, or how cities adapt to flooding risks, this overview breaks it down in a clear and accessible way.
