Prevention From Flood And Water Logging: Alembic Real Estate's Best Practices For Rain Water Management

With the changing climatic conditions, taking preventive measures against flood and water logging has become the need of the hour. As one of India’s top real estate companies, Alembic Real Estate knows the importance of implementing effective rain management strategies to protect its properties and residents. This blog talks about the best practices followed by Alembic Real Estate in prestigious projects like Park Crescent, Crescent, Kiara, and Veda II to address the challenges of waterlogging and flooding. 

The recent floods in Vadodara have brought the issue of water logging and flood prevention to the forefront. Vadodara, being one of the many rapidly growing cities, faces significant challenges when it comes to managing heavy rainfall. The city received unprecedented rainfall in August 2024, leading to widespread flooding and water logging. This event highlighted the critical need for robust rain management systems in urban developments. Alembic Real Estate, understanding the situation, incorporated flood resilience into the projects. Our approach revolves around combining cutting-edge engineering solutions with sustainable design principles to create living spaces that can withstand extreme weather events.

Design Changes

Alembic Real Estate follows an elevated design. For example, At Park Crescent, the ground floor level is significantly above the surrounding area. This ensures a natural barrier against water ingress. Along with this, Alembic Real Estate follows a strategic landscaping technique where gentle slopes and contours are incorporated to send water away from buildings, permeable paving materials in outdoor areas are used to improve water absorption, rain gardens are placed to capture and filter stormwater, etc. 

Drainage Systems

Kiara is one of the premium residential projects by Alembic Real Estate. It has state-of-the-art drainage systems designed to handle heavy rainfall efficiently. It comes with oversized storm drains with increased capacity, smart pumping stations that activate automatically based on water levels, and underground water storage tanks that capture excess rainwater for later use.

Green Solutions

Alembic Veda II follows green infrastructure solutions that mimic natural water cycles. The extensive green roofs absorb rainwater, reduce runoff, and collect and store water in the rainwater harvesting systems. All the projects at Alembic Real Estate have sustainable urban drainage systems that slow down and store rainwater, reduce the burden on municipal drainage infrastructure, and improve water quality through natural filtration processes.

Flood-Resistant Building Materials

Alembic Real Estate uses flood-resistant materials to build the ground floors and basements across their projects. 

Smart Monitoring and Early Warning Systems

Alembic Real Estate has integrated smart monitoring systems in all the projects. As a part of this, there are real-time water level sensors installed in critical areas that automate alerts to residents and management in case of potential flooding and integrate with local weather forecasting systems for proactive management.

While many parts of the city experienced severe water logging during the flooding, the residents of Alembic Real Estate properties remained safe and mostly unaffected by the flooding.

With the climatic changes continuing and presenting new challenges every day, Alembic Real Estate is executing rain management and flood prevention in full swing. We will be exploring new technologies and approaches, including AI-powered drainage systems, collaboration with local authorities to improve city-wide flood resilience, and a lot more. 

The recent floods in Vadodara have highlighted the importance of choosing a home like Park Crescent, Kiara, and Veda II, built with resilience in mind. 

Alembic Real Estate is proving that it is possible to create living spaces that are not only luxurious but also safe and secure in the face of extreme weather events. Ultimately, we are building homes for people seeking peace of mind without having to compromise on comfort and style. As Vadodara continues to grow and develop, Alembic Real Estate’s approach to rain management will undoubtedly be remembered while shaping the city’s future resilience.
