Project
Subject: Innovative Flood Control System and Energy Harvesting System for Houston
- Houston frequently experiences devastating floods due to extreme weather and inadequate drainage. Traditional flood control systems are often reactive and do not provide additional value. Our project proposes a solution that not only mitigates floods but also generates renewable energy from excess.
- Objectives
- Manage urban floodwater more effectively
- Harvest renewable energy from flood channels
- Design sustainable infrastructure for high-risk cities
• Methods Used
- Data Collection: Identify high-risk zones using GIS
- System Design: Install mini turbines in water pathways
- Simulation: Use flow rate data to estimate energy output
- Analysis: Assess cost-effectiveness and RO
