Flood Level Control and Management Using Instrumentation and Control

Abstract

Flood is a extremely dangerous and harmful natural catastrophe. Various actions have been taken to reduce severity caused by flooding and flood damages. However, the problem of drainage remains one of the main challenge. Therefore, the main objective is to avoid or minimize the environmental impacts of flood hazards & to reduce the risk of flood and channel migration hazards. In order to address the problem, and to provide flood protection and decrease flood damage different types of works have been undertaken by engineers from all disciplines across the globe. This paper discusses about an interactive model illustrating the flood like situation and its solution to control and manage. The model is designed and created using instrumentation and control based hardware and software solutions to help manage the situation as well as to work like an emergency flood monitoring and warning system. This model is implemented with level monitoring and measurement system, alarm system, and use of LED's using which people can be warned and therefore help to reduce the after effects due to floods.
