The system 100 includes a perimeter barrier 14 around an asset or zone 22 to be protected and a soak way system 32-34 disposed sub-surface within the protected zone and designed to collect surface water from within the protected zone. A sump 30 is provided within the protected zone 22 and includes a pump 170 for pumping water from the sump to outside of the protected zone beyond the perimeter barrier. A series of sensors 102 106 detect the presence of ground water inside and outside of the protected zone and within the sump 30 and a control unit 108 coupled to the sensors controls the operation of the pump which removes water from the sump at a rate sufficient for preventing flooding within the protected zone 32. A control unit 108 can provide warning of impending flooding. Also disclosed is a method of protecting the asset from flood water. |
