How to take action on urban flood control?
Cities across the globe feel the urgency to address the growing frequency and damage of flash floods. Water Works offer ultimate defence with location specific flooding solutions.
As a first line of defence, the Sirio© AI powered rainwater control platform offers unprecedented early action predictions within seconds for single locations, entire cities or large regions. This allows the local water system to react on incoming water quantities at an unprecedented rate.
The BlueBloqs© rainwater harvesting system offers protection for exposed urban flood areas with frequent sewage overflows. By vertical infiltration of large rainwater volumes up to 1M cubic metres and more, BlueBloqs© is equipped for immediate release of sewage networks and reduction of flooding risk.
And for the most critical urban flood risk locations, flood risks can be eliminated via the ultrafast drainage capacity of the patented Two-Way City Drain© system.
All flood control systems work seamlessly together under the overarching Roak© Data Analytics Platform that provides a single source for supervising maintenance interventions and for making fact-based investment plans and environmental reports for resilient city water ecosystems.
How to recharge and protect groundwater?
Urban groundwater reserves are under pressure, caused by over- extraction, long periods of drought and contamination by saltwater and by pollution from industries and agriculture.
As a reliable single base for groundwater management in complex water ecosystems we offer the Roak© Data Analytics Platform and a suite of proven hardware devices to measure water quality and quantity of the entire hydrological cycle. This includes iFLUX Sensing © to measure and predict underground movement of clean and contaminated aquifers.
The BlueBloqs © Rainwater Harvesting system catches, cleans and stores rainwater in underground clean water reserves. In this way depleting aquifers are replenished, and seasonal water reserves are created to survive long dry periods.
The unique patented Underground Dam © Technology conceals and protects underground freshwater reserves against surrounding sources of contamination and depletion.
How to keep cities green with Blue-Green infrastructure?
Green areas play a key role in modern city design to control heat stress and secure biodiversity. The BlueBloqs © Rainwater Harvesting system acts as a renewable and reliable source of irrigation water by creating large underground clean water reserves. The BlueBloqs water reserves offer seasonal storage that keep cities green, even during long dry periods and seasons.
By combining Sirio© AI Rainwater Control with BlueBloqs©, Sirio© will permanently monitor all urban water buffers and rapidly channel excess water volumes to the underground storage to maximise reserves for bridging periods of drought.
The Two-Way City Drain© system is strategically placed to not only drain critical places with too much water build-up, but also be used to irrigate the area during the dry periods.
