flood channels
Storm drainage routes
Flood channels are artificial waterways designed to divert excess water during heavy rainfall or river overflow, protecting populated areas from flooding.
They may be concrete-lined ditches or larger engineered canals that carry water away from vulnerable zones: The city's flood channels prevented disaster during the storm.
Also called flood control channels.
