IOT Flood Monitoring & Alerting System

Floods are the natural disasters that cause catastrophic destruction and devastation of natural life, agriculture, property and infrastructure every year. Flooding is influenced by various hydrological & meteorological factors. A number of researches have been done in flood disaster management and food prediction systems. However, it has now become significant to shift from individual monitoring and prediction frameworks to smart flood prediction systems which include stakeholders and the flood affecting people equally with help of recent technological advancements. The objective of this project is to monitor the flood situation & send alert in case of danger in the form of text message. The main objective of this project is to detect rising water level in a river at a reasonable distance from the rail track/ roadways and intimate that to the respective authorities through SMS, to take appropriate action. Our project solves problem by implementing an early flood detection mechanism. In this project we will connect water level sensors at different levels. The main aim of this system is to monitor humidity, temperature, rainfall, river water level and to find their information for flood prediction analysis.
