Development of Advanced Flood Detection System with IoT

Abstract

:Advanced flood detection system gives early warning to residents near bodies of water especially river that is impacted when dams release its water. This will save lives and valuable properties as the warning system alert the user, thus giving time for evacuation. Advanced flood detector consists of a sensor module, microprocessor, and output module. The output module is installed inside resident’s houses. It consists of an ultrasonic sensor to detect water level and features I0T and the data is directed at the microprocessor. The microprocessor will collect the data, process it and selected output will be sent to the output module. The feature that differentiates from other flood detectors is the application of IoT systems. Output module consists of alerts which is an app alert from the IoT feature. Users will first receive an alert from the app in case there is a water level rise, or an alert is given by a nearby dam via IoT. If the dam opened the water gates, the siren and the user will get an app alert. This project will help a lot of people due to the rapid climate change that is experienced in Malaysia due to global warming.
