Solar Fed Flood Alert System Using Arduino

The most destructive natural calamity in the world is flooding. In the event of a severe flood, it can obliterate the neighborhood and claim many lives. Billions of dollars would be spent by the government to rebuild the impacted area. In order to lower the risk of flooding, it is essential to construct a flood control system. In order to inform residents to take immediate action, such as fleeing to a safer and higher position, timely reporting on the occurrence of the flood is required. IoT-based flood warning systems are a desirable option for disaster management due to the development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and the availability of inexpensive sensors. Flood monitoring and warning have been accomplished using a variety of IoT implementation techniques. This work provides a summary of the literature on IoT hardware implementation and the relevant solar fed flood warning system using Bolt Wi-Fi and Arduino tools. The paper makes a contribution by emphasizing the use of sensors, Arduino, wireless communication, IoT platforms, and Bolt Wi-Fi embracing IoT in flood monitoring and flood warning systems. This work gives prompt feedback by giving an alert and consequently any disaster can be avoided from in its beginning phases. Also, this system utilizes solar power as a source for the overall system thereby providing power consumption and increase the efficiency of the system. The proposed technique is tested using programming instrument Proteus 8 Professional.
