IoT-Enabled Wireless Sensor Network for Dam Safety Management

Dams play a vital role in water management, energy production, and flood control. However, their structural integrity and operational safety require continuous monitoring and management. Traditional dam safety systems often involve manual inspections, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized monitoring and management practices across various industries. This paper explores the development and implementation of a Dam Safety Management System (DSMS) using IoT. The system leverages sensors, cloud computing, and real-time data analytics to enhance dam safety, streamline operations, and mitigate risks. The proposed system aims to provide accurate, timely insights into dam performance, enabling proactive interventions to prevent disasters.
