Sewage/Flood Overflow Monitoring and Alerting System

Abstract

Flooding is a natural calamity that is becoming increasingly frequent and has a severe impact on people's quality of life. This study highlights the use of IoT and Arduino to develop a flood monitoring system that can track the conditions near a reservoir [1]. The system utilizes compatible sensors such as level, temperature, humidity, and flow, which are accurately measured and displayed on an LCD screen. The data is then transmitted via a Wi-Fi module (ESP8266) to an IoT web application, where it is stored in a private channel. In the event of a flood, the web application alerts the relevant authorities and people [5]. Flood are well-known natural disasters that can cause significant destruction in the surrounding areas when water levels suddenly rise in dams and river beds. The damage caused by floods can have a devastating impact on both the environment and living beings. It is critical to receive emergency alerts regarding water level situations in various conditions in the river bed to minimize the damage caused by floods [9].
