  • Abstract:
  • The ultimate aim of our project is to develop a real-time flood monitoring and alerting system by using sensors in the flood prone areas. The technique of using ultrasonic sensor and pressure sensor are widely used in various fields of engineering. The main advantage of using ultrasonic sensor is it outstanding capability to probe inside an object non-destructively as the ultrasound can propagate through any kinds of media including solids, liquids and gases. This project focuses on the water level detection and early warning system (via buzzer sound and/or SMS) that alerts concern authorities and individuals living in the nearby areas. Furthermore, inquiry system is also included in this project to become more interactive wherein individuals in the community could inquire the status of the desired area or location affected by flood through buzzer sound and SMS notifications. The project aims in helping citizens to be prepared and knowledgeable about the flood. The novelty of this work falls under the utilization of the ultrasonic and pressure sensors, GSM, LPC2148Microcontroller and LCD display. Thus by using this method, the effects of flash flood can be reduced to a great extent.
