Abstract
Flood is a common problem not only in India but worldwide and most of the water bodies are easily accessible to common people. At times it may happen that the weather conditions may change suddenly and the water bodies may become violent, resulting in a flood which can lead to loss of lives as well as livestock. Therefore, a rapid flood detection system that can reach a wide area such as the internet is necessary to minimize the effects of disasters. So, this paper proposes a flood detection system with the help of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a smart technology that has the capability to send data in realtime. The system is powered using Arduino and has 3 sensors to detect 5 different parameters. Firstly, to measure temperature and humidity we have DHT-11 Digital Temperature and Humidity Sensor. Then we have the Water Flow sensor to check the flow of water. And lastly, to measure the distance and water level we have HC-SR04-Ultrasonic Range Finder and Distance Sensor. Finally, the collected information is transmitted to LCD to display the information. The system continuously keeps checking any changes in the weather condition and updates the live data over IoT. In case the parameters reach a dangerous level the system immediately alerts the people.
