“How can we drain water away to a specified flood zone?”

Water flooding is a major issue around the world. Massive damage can ensue if there’s no management. So what’s one way we can solve it? Well, what if we dig a trench, fill it with a gravel bed, insert a perforated pipe, and then file the rest with gravel? This way, the water will move from the gravel into the pipe, which can then transport the water into a specified flooding area. This technology is as French Drains, and is a common household flooding solution.
