Traditional flood protections like embankments and walls have risks such as flooding, rupturing, and being unsustainable and aesthetically unpleasing. The document proposes using mobile flood screens that behave like rolling curtains to stop flood flows as a new protection method. The flood screens would be fixed to steel poles along the land and water frontline, and could lift up on steel rings as water levels rise during a flood to protect coastal and low-lying areas.
