Summary:
Using a series of sensors and laboratory experiments, they developed a robust flood model. They will measure water levels, and can send out alerts to officials and residents if the drains are liable to overflow,” said G.S. These sensors will be installed in places which civic officials have identified as vulnerable to flooding. Coupled with data from their 36 telemetric weather stations and rain gauges, the system can be a guidance for civic officials to prioritise their disaster preparedness. A key part of the project is to create an urban flood model that simulates hydrologic and hydraulic behaviour using high-resolution terrain data, inundation maps, and analyse vulnerable zones..
