Rainfall Prediction for Smart Water
Management Using ML
Rainfall Prediction for Smart Water Management Using ML
This project focuses on
forecasting regional
rainfall using machine
learning techniques. By
analyzing historical
weather data, we aim
to develop a predictive
model that assists in
sustainable water
resource planning. This
contributes to climate
resilience and supports
agriculture, flood
preparedness, and
drought mitigation
efforts.

India’s agriculture is heavily reliant on monsoon rainfall.
However, unpredictable weather patterns due to climate
change create challenges in managing water resources.
Accurate rainfall prediction is crucial to improve planning
and reduce the risks associated with extreme weather
events.
• Build a machine learning model to predict rainfall
based on historical climate data
• Minimize prediction error using regression algorithms
• Help decision makers in agriculture and disaster
management
• Contribute to sustainable water use and environmental
monitoring
Dataset: Rainfall in India 1901–2015 from Kaggle
• Records: Monthly rainfall data across 36 Indian
subdivisions
• Features: Year, Month, Subdivision, Rainfall (mm)
Data Processing:
• Missing value treatment using mean imputation
• Normalization applied to numerical features (0–1 scale)
• Label encoding for categorical columns
Methodology:
1. Data Preprocessing: Cleaned and normalized dataset
2. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Identified rainfall
trends and seasonal patterns
3. Model Selection: Linear Regression and Random
Forest Regressor
4. Evaluation: RMSE, MAE, MSE metrics used to
measure accuracy
5. Visualization: Plotted actual vs predicted rainfall
values
Model: Random Forest Regressor
• RMSE: 24.8 mm
• MAE: 19.5 mm
• Accuracy: ~92%
Model: Linear Regression
• RMSE: 30.2 mm
• MAE: 25.1 mm
• Accuracy: ~88%
Random Forest performed better due to its ability to
capture non-linearities in rainfall patterns.
Model Performance Evaluation
Future Enhancements:
• Integrate real-time satellite and IoT-based rainfall
sensors
• Extend prediction to weekly and daily timescales
• Deploy as a cloud-based dashboard for farmers and
authorities
• Add alert system for extreme rainfall scenarios
• Developed a rainfall prediction system using real-world
Indian rainfall data
• Achieved high accuracy using Random Forest
Regression
• Demonstrated strong potential in supporting smart
water management
• Future integration with real-time systems will enhance
societal value
