Multimodal technology platform
To improve flood prediction, several areas of research must be addressed. Concisely, data for real-time flood prediction should be detected in the right place and at the right time, transmitted in difficult conditions, merged into the cloud, and used to make reliable flood prediction models.
We intend to use a portable system that can be rapidly implemented in areas that can be flooded to give a much needed advanced warning and monitor water levels for as long as the water recedes.
Description
We are working on ways to control floods in real-time using remote water sensors through cell phone systems. With the predicted impacts of climate change, flooding will be a global problem. Early warning minutes are important and modern flood warning systems are critical for a country to protect its people as well as to develop and grow its towns. Floods are the most serious natural disasters that humanity has to face in terms of loss of life and the long-term effects of floods have severely adverse social consequences.
