I don't know where my drains run to and there is nothing in my homebuyers report about it. The bit between the door and the drain does not fall into the drain, it is flat or sloping slightly into the garage because the left hand side of the garage gets standing water.
If by a water bar you mean just a flat strip like this: Sabrefix
then that would not be enough. Water would just gather behind it I think.

That's why your garage is flooding...no fall. You need a crossfall from the garage to the channel. It may be best to bite the bullet and lower your channel making a fall from your garage.

These are images fyi: Water comes into the garage on the left and the drain is on the right.
How much would you guess lowering the channel cost?

firstly ,pull them blinking weeds out of the block paving!
its a drive not an allotment!
biggest issue john is that you have wooden doors that because they open out up a slope have a gap under them
no way out of this
in your scenario unless you change to a different door,all you can do is run a new aco type drain directly in front of the door
this will involve a fair bit of effing and blinding as you have to cut through the concrete oversite and connect the new drain to the old
