John O'Dowd described it as an interim solution to the recent flooding in the Ballycolman Estate.
The department has said it intends to redirect excess water away from homes in the area during flooding and direct it towards council-owned land instead.
Mr O'Dowd said this would "considerably reduce the risk of in-house flooding to properties".
More than 400 homes in the north west reported flood damage to Derry City and Strabane District Council following the torrential downpour.
It is understood 70mm of rain fell in the space of five hours on 23 July, overwhelming river banks and drainage systems.
Six people were rescued by emergency services and the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) said crews received more than 100 calls and responded to 49 incidents.
Mr O'Dowd said he wrote to Communities Minister Deirdre Hargey seeking her department's approval in connection with a short term solution after meeting impacted residents.
"Minister Hargey granted my department and the council permission to facilitate access to the lands and this will allow progression of the works in advance of the formal completion of the legal agreement," Mr O'Dowd said
"My department is in a position to commence these construction works later this month."
