The document presents a group project to develop a flood protection solution called the Flood Guard. It begins by showing how existing solutions like sandbags, waterwalls, and floodgates are ineffective or costly. It then introduces the Flood Guard as a more cost effective, convenient and long lasting alternative for flood protection of shops. The document outlines how the Flood Guard works, its key features, advantages over current solutions, and plans for further development. The overall aim is to provide "real" flood protection for shops.
