ABSTRACT:
A flood water control system for reducing flooding formed in conjunction with multi-lane highways separated by medians wherein large holding basins are formed in the medians and flood water flowing into low land flows through directional ditches to the multi-lane highways and is thereafter transported through culverts to the holding basins. The culverts can be selectively opened and closed to control the collection of flood water in the holding basins.
