A Flood of Ideas
Your challenge is to develop a new methodology or algorithm that leverages Earth observation and critical infrastructure datasets to estimate damages to infrastructure caused by flooding. Make a measurable impact on the resilience of nations by helping the Earth observations community contribute to the United Nations’ primary effort to reduce disaster risk!
Finding a method to detect floods before it happens
Summary
Here, we use pressure sensors. The pressure sensors detect the actual pressure. After that, the height of the water level is calculated automatically. If that height exceeds the maximum water level of the river, then a signal is sent to the checking point which is near the river. After that, the message of alert is distributed among the relations.
How We Addressed This Challenge
Due to heavy rain, most of the people have to face floods. In Sri Lanka, there are some systems to detect floods, before it happens. Even though those systems are certified, still people have to face floods. They have to lost their properties due to floods. Flooding season is a period of diseases. Therefore, we decided to create another system to detect floods.
