Abstract: A method for diverting water flow of a drainage system is provided. The method comprises receiving monitored information from a plurality of sensors of a drainage system. In one aspect, the drainage system includes at least one valve to control water flow of the drainage system, and wherein the plurality of sensors and the at least one valve are communicatively connected to a controller of the drainage system. Moreover, the method comprises analyzing the monitored information of the plurality of sensors to resolve a maximum flow problem of water flow of the drainage system. The method further comprises identifying a path through the drainage system to divert water flow of the drainage system based on the resolved maximum flow problem. The method further comprises controlling a plurality of valves to divert the water flow in the drainage system based on the identified path of the drainage system.
