Abstract

In general, the natural catastrophic event causes damage to the life and economy. The proposed work focuses on forecasting of flood using Internet of Things (IoT). The correlation techniques for multivariate datasets acquired from sensors have been used for better flood forecasting scheme. The flood forecasting system incorporates monitoring features, such as, water level of dam, humidity, water flow and rate of rainfall. These parameters are to be analyzed to monitor and control the release of water from the dam at moderate rate in advance to avoid any losses on downstream due to the flood. The datasets are collected by the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) via PLC. The sensor information can be analyzed using correlation techniques and system creates an alert to the people community, dam authorized person through siren / alert message using a smart communication device and IoT dashboard. The analyzed result can be appended to show a considerable development over the current existing methods. The manual gate control mechanism results in the insufficient supply of water due to the flow of excess water and human errors which leads to failure in monitoring and controlling the opening and closing of shutter. The water leakage in dam is due to poorly sealed pipes or the improper concrete structure. The designed flood control system was intended to acquire the real time data for flood prediction by correlation techniques for integrated PLC and servo based control of dam and canal shutter instantaneously without any time lag. Further, the webpage and mobile application can be created in which the data could be monitored frequently by the officials and the people who live in that locality thereby creating an alert.
