A flood water retention assembly for reducing flood damage includes a plurality of repositories that is each positioned proximate a lowland area prone to flooding. A plurality of drain conduits is each fluidly coupled to a respective one of the repositories. Each of the drain conduits is in fluid communication with a drainage area to drain the water into the drainage area. A plurality of inlet conduits is each fluidly coupled to a respective one of the repositories. Each of the inlet conduits is in fluid communication with a body of water to receive water from the body of water. A pump is fluidly coupled to each of the inlet conduits and the pump is positioned adjacent to the body of water. The pump pumps the water into the repositories when the pump is turned on. In this way the repositories contain flood waters thereby reducing flood damage to surrounding areas.
