Design of IOT-Based Flood Warning System

Flood is one of the most perilous natural disasters affecting mankind. This chapter highlights the effectiveness of Internet of Things (IOT) system and presents preliminary development of an in-house IOT system for data acquisition and transmission through telemetry. IOT provides big data with low latency by empowering physical resources through Internet connectivity. Through IOT system, we have discussed different types of sensors, communication devices that work with telemetry methods to effectively process data for monitoring water level. Data acquisition, data computation and data interpretation of water level will help us in preparation, response and recovery of water related natural disaster.
