Flood Prevention

Flooding is one of the disasters that keep occurring in various part of the world due to the warming climate. Flood disaster prevention and early warning of the flood caused by locally heavy rain are based on water level and rainfall monitoring in the whole drainage basin. Providing early warning for floods and other natural disasters enable authorities to manage and mitigate effects on lives and properties. Flood forecasting uses real time precipitation and stream flow data in rainfall-runoff and stream flow models to forecast flow rates and water level for specific periods. Inputs to flood forecasting system include many hydrological, meteorological and geological data.
