3. Introduction
∙ Flooding is a natural phenomenon which has attracted global
attention as a result of its negative impact on the society.
∙ Many countries are predicted to experience increased flood
occurrences in the coming decade.
∙ The system involves the deployment of sensor nodes at
specific flood vulnerable locations for real-time flood
monitoring and detection.
∙ Flood events relating to flash flooding and run-off water or
overflow are successfully monitored in real time which saves
individuals plenty of time to prepare against predicted flood
occurrence, saving them from the aftermath of flood disaster.

4. Introduction
∙ India accounts for one-fifth of worldwide passings due to floods according to
WHO. 107,487 individuals were killed due to overwhelming floods in India
between 1953 and 2017 according to the CWC. Most deaths(11,316) due to floods
in India were recorded in 1977, whereas the least(37) was recorded in 1953.

5. Introduction
∙ The major flood inclined districts in India are Punjab,
Haryana, most of the Gangetic fields, counting Uttar Pradesh,
North Bihar and West Bengal, the Brahmaputra valley, coastal
Andhra Pradesh and Orissa, and southern Gujarat. Now-a-days
Kerala and Tamil Nadu too feel the wrath of the floods

EXISTING SYSTEM PROPOSED SYSTEM
> There are no features to know the > Sensor is available to measure the
level changes in river. water level.
> Manually have to monitor. > Monitoring system is done
automatically.
Drawbacks of existing system Advantages of proposed system
> Causes severe damage. > Damage can be reduced.
> Cannot be monitored through > Can be monitored through IoT.
IoT. > At emergency condition, necessary
> Forecasting of flood is not possible. action to be taken because of the early
flood detection.

9. Experimental results and discussion
The micro-controller which we are using is the brain of the entire
system to operate the modules which are connected with the
controller. The rain sensor is used to check the rain detection. The
ultrasonic sensor is used to measure the level of water in the river.
The DHT11 sensor is used to measure the surrounding
temperature. The GPS is used to detect the location at where flood
happen. The location is shared by the message using GSM. All
the data are updated to cloud so that the system can be monitor by
IoT.

coordinates, and the message saying that the
SMS was sent on the LCD Monitor respectively.

11. Conclusion
This work enlightens the possibility to provide an alert system to
overcome the flood risk. It can also contribute to the authority or
company such as firefighter or any government state agency that
can help the society about the flooding or any natural disaster.
Especially during Riverine Floods and in the flood prone zones.
The proposed system is able to send an alert message to the
mobile with the geographical coordinates. It has been executed in
a controlled environment

12. FUTURE SCOPE OF IMPLEMENTATION
Our Future goal is to implement the Flood alert system in real
time by adding a few other sensors for more accurate detection
such as a pressure sensor and also a camera. The working model
is to be fixed on a one more dam or along the riverbanks. Also
The information that's shown in our website can be implemented
as a smartphone application so that the public within the flood
prone zones can be alerted using a notification.
