Flood Monitoring and Alerting System

One of the major disasters occurring in the world is flooding. To monitor the water conditions such as water level and velocity of flow, wireless sensor network system architecture for real time monitoring has been developed. The main aim of the proposed work is to send real time information of flooding to the concerned welfare authorities so that suitable action could be taken. This system architecture is composed of sensor network, processing/ transmission unit and a server. Sensors are distributed in rivers so that changes of the water level can be effectively monitored. In this paper monitoring the water related data like water level and flow rate in rivers and flood conditions is done using arduino UNO processor will process the data and GPRS/GSM SIM 900a module is used to transmit measured data to the LCD display and if the values measured are different from the normal values alerts are generated and sent as an SMS through the GSM modem. This wireless sensor network system could remotely monitor the real time data of water condition in the identified areas.
