Water Level Monitoring and Flood Alert System

Abstract

For several thousand years, human population has experienced the catastrophes brought by the natural disasters. Since the disasters occur without any prior warning to people, there is no enough time to evacuate the area of disaster. Even though the disasters are suddenly occurring, it is possible to predict the occurrence of some of them. Flood is one these disasters. It is one of the most commonly occurring natural disasters in the world and accounts for the highest loss that it brings to humanity. In this paper, we present a system which we designed to provide alert using short message system before flood. The system is also designed to store the history of water level in its database. The database is present on a centralized server which does all the jobs from data collection to sending message before flood.
