Smart Drainage System for Urban Flood Prevention
Abstract
Urban flooding has become a significant issue in contemporary cities, exacerbated by climate change, increased urbanization, and outdated drainage infrastructure. This study introduces a Smart Drainage System that uses cutting-edge technology like IoT, AI, and real-time monitoring to stop urban floods. An interactive municipal dashboard, automated flow control valves, AI-driven predictive analytics, and smart drain covers with integrated sensors are all features of the system. The system dynamically controls water flow, identifies obstructions, and sends out early flood warnings by integrating information from environmental sensors, weather forecasts, and historical trends. With features for offline operation and both manual and autonomous modes of operation, the system guarantees uninterrupted functioning even in emergency situations. According to the research, this kind of intelligent technology provides an adaptable, scalable, and economical way to reduce urban flooding.
