Short Summary

This paper presents an Intelligent Flood Warning and Dam Operating System that integrates IoT technology with ultrasonic sensors and ESP32-CAM for real-time water level monitoring, flood risk prediction, and automated dam control to enhance disaster preparedness.

Objective

• To design and present a cost-effective and scalable Intelligent Flood Warning and Dam Operating System that leverages IoT technology and advanced data analytics for real-time flood monitoring, risk prediction, and automated dam operations.

Study Configuration

• Spatial Scale: Local (for deployment at specific dam sites or water bodies).
• Temporal Scale: Real-time and continuous monitoring.

Methodology and Data

• Models used: Advanced data analytics (general approach for risk prediction and decision-making). The system integrates Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
• Data sources: Ultrasonic sensors (for water level), ESP32-CAM (for visual monitoring), SIM modules (for communication), FTDI232 modules (for interfacing).

Main Results

• The paper presents the conceptual design and architecture of an Intelligent Flood Warning and Dam Operating System.
• The system is designed to provide real-time monitoring of water levels using ultrasonic sensors and visual data via ESP32-CAM.
