In flood-prone areas, considerations include:
- Elevated Installations: Install the pump and associated equipment above potential flood levels.
- Waterproof Enclosures: Use waterproof or submersible enclosures for electrical components and controls.
- Flood Barriers: Implement physical barriers around the pump room to prevent water ingress.
- Drainage Systems: Ensure adequate drainage systems are in place to quickly remove water from the pump area.
