Flood Detection. Alert System for Flood Prevention and Reduction of Damages

Scientific Essay from the year 2021 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Meteorology, Aeronomy, Climatology, Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation, language: English, abstract: The project presented in this paper aims to develop a flood detection system that helps to detect floods before they occur. The system utilizes various sensors to detect potential flooding in a given area, including water level sensors, rain gauges, and temperature sensors. The data collected from these sensors is analyzed and used to generate alerts, which can be sent to authorities, emergency responders, and citizens (directly to their smartphone). The project's ultimate goal is to improve flood prevention and mitigation efforts in the country and reduce the risk of damage to infrastructure, property, and loss of life caused by flooding. By using innovative technology, this flood detection system can significantly benefit the community and help the country better prepare for future flooding events.
