Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for preventing floods in the event of a river carrying floodwater. At least one mainline is provided which leads from the region of the floodplain to a collection basin and has one or more pumps in order to pump part of the floodwater through said mainline to the aforementioned collection basin in the event of floodwater, the base of said collection basin lying at a higher level than the riverbed such that electric energy is converted into potential energy of the water during the operation of the at least one pump. According to the method, the electric energy for operating the at least one pump is drawn from a local energy store or is converted in situ from a third energy form which differs from electric energy and hydropower. This is achieved using a device for drawing the electric energy for operating the at least one pump from a local energy store or converting the electric energy in situ from a third energy form which differs from electric energy and hydropower.
