Benefits of technology

[0003]Establishing a pre-flood harvesting capability and unifying the tasks and coordinated planning of applications, while retaining the present expertise will greatly economize Water, Power, and Environmental protection costs and operations. Growing water shortages, water quality issues, waste distribution controls and related recurring problems of floods, can be addressed with this method. Expansion of reservoirs, tank farms, temporary fabric tubes and storage, evaporators, tankers, barges, rail tankers and trucks makes good economic use of new and proven capabilities. Online system information with status of water quality, status and flood data tailored by location offers uniform controls, continuous reporting and summaries of Fresh water purified for delivery to Homes, Farms and Businesses.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]Disclosed herein is a method of water capture by pin-pointing likely excess flow locations and preventing flood damage. Captured water into temporary storage such as tanks, reservoirs, fabric tube arrays, or available lakes, can ultimately provide fresh water augmentation in many regions. Captured water would be tested, treated as needed, reclaimed and identified into central online storage sites. Not needed excess flows would be released after storm season. Higher quality captured and treated water can be retained and distributed by metropolitan regions in compliance with current regulations. Such vitally needed fresh water could augment US metropolitan water districts, homes, and businesses. There are many options to capture (and temporarily store near capture site), move to purification, storage and transportation to customers. Long term cost effective water and power augmentation by cooperative metropolitan water sources can be accomplished by new and existing technologies...

Abstract

A method of water capture by pin-pointing likely excess flow locations and preventing flood damage. Captured water into temporary storage such as tanks, reservoirs, fabric tube arrays, or available lakes, can ultimately provide fresh water augmentation in many regions. Captured water will be tested, treated as needed, reclaimed and identified into central online storage sites. Not needed excess flows would be released after storm season. By flood damage and clean up avoidance, it provides ultimate long term flood pollution abatement for homes, businesses, farms and communities of affected US waterways.
