Why Design is the most important step in effective Flood Protection?

When people hear the word design we're often confined to thinking along the lines of the visual aesthetics of a product or development, disregarding its more important purpose, which is to develop functionality based on a requirement or a need. The concept of "Function Follows Form" has been a topic of debate amongst designers, but a more practical thinking could be that the function of a product should not interfere with its form and vice versa. Form and function should go hand in hand.

Bridges were made for ease of passage over rivers and rough terrain. The telephone was designed for communication across distances. Dikes, flood walls, flood barriers and other flood protection devices were all designed to protect buildings from different levels of flood damage. This is why design is the most important step in effective flood protection. What flood protection product should designers and builders use for their projects? How will architects design around the requirements of Development Authorities?

Bad Flood Protection Design costs time, money, property and lives

Prolonged planning because of a design's failure to meet DA requirements is a waste of time. The costs of architects and designers due to revisions, is an added expense to the projects' owners and investors.

Development Authorities require flood proofing of gates, doors, parking lots, basements and other entry ways for a reason. Flood proofing buildings and other establishments mean lessening property damage and costs incurred after a flooding.
