Introduction

Floods are natural hazards that are devastating due to the nature of the damage they can cause in an environment in addition to the loss of lives. There are various types of floods; river floods, river-flash floods, and coastal surge floods as well as floods emanating from extreme precipitation. The rise in the sea levels, changes in the climate of a region, and the growing habitation of the low-lying areas have led to an increased frequency in the occurrence of floods ( Martinez,  Bakheet, and Akib,2021).  Innovation strategies are vital in the prevention of the impact of floods on the livelihoods of a particular area.  The research paper will look into the anti-flooding technologies that would help in mitigating flooding in the US.

Aqua Dam innovation control

AquaDam is an innovative control method used in mitigating the impact of floodwaters on a particular environment. The flood control methodology was invented as a means of blocking streams for pipeline crossings. The technique of the aqua-barriers has grown into the ideal methodology of flood control through the formation of aqua barriers over sections of various communities.  In some of the US states (Louisiana, New York, Texas, and South Carolina) AquaDam technology has been incorporated as an emergency means of flood control. AquaDam is an ecofriendly……..
