Quick elimination of water from all areas of the region. 2. Water Management for 150 mile diameter area. 3. Ample drinking water for the public, in all areas of the region. 4. Electrical power for many areas of the region. 5. Real-Time monitoring of operations from control center. 6. Emergency escape routes and shelters. Additional features of this Advanced System include: 7. Efficient layout of all structures and equipment. 8. Almost zero footprint: no surface land required in city. 9. Effective use of natural energies. 10. Easy access for maintenance. 11. Protection from vandals and terrorists. 12. Structural integrity for 300 years. This book, "How to Build an Advanced Flood Control System", is your Step-by-Step Guide to actually building this system! You will be guided through every step. From general layout, to the calculation of dimensions, and through all the construction steps, you will be guided with specific steps and reminders. You can be confident that your flood control system will be built effectively. The Guide begins with a brief overview of the process. This is followed by a list of Phases. Each Phase begins by reminding the reader what we are building in this phase, what it does for our system, and the important factors to remember when constructing. This is followed by a series of specific steps and reminders. If you follow this Guide, you will indeed build the most effective and sophisticated flood control system possible. A few additional notes about the book are as follows. 1. Complete description and understanding of the System: This Advanced Flood Control System is described in great detail in other books by this author. These books are also available from Amazon. However, this Guide does review the basic design and importance of each component the system as we proceed with the construction. 2. Layout, Siting, and Calculations: The initial design and calculation phases are very important. Though the basic design has been provided for you, each region will have its own specific decisions regarding siting and dimensions. Therefore, this Guide will help you establish the best layout, ideal siting, and perfect calculations, for all aspects of the system. You can then begin the construction process, fully confident that the Flood Control System you build will be the best possible for your region. 3. Full-Color Pictures which Accompany the Text: The designer has created 75 pictures, most of them full-color, which help illustrate all aspects of the design and construction process. Using these pictures, along with the text, you will easily understand exactly how everything will look. Note, however, that the pictures are only referenced in the text. The actual pictures are found elsewhere. This choice was made to make this Guide shorter, and much cheaper. This Guide will be more compact and affordable because of this choice. The actual pictures can be found in many books and websites. The Abridged Version has most of the pictures, and is available as ebook and printed book. The Full Version has all the pictures; it is also available in ebook and printed form. Other sources for the pictures are listed in this Guide. 4. This "How to Guide" divides the design and construction process into the following steps. For each of these steps, you will be guided through specific steps for accurate completion of the project. A. Determine Specific Locations and Sizes for all Items B. Dig Ramps, Pits, and Holes C. Build Flood Chutes and Maintenance Tunnels D. Install Drainage Rings and Entrance Pipes E. Build Containers, Filters, and Pumps F. Finalize the Electrical System G. Seal the Pipes and Structures H. Testing the System
