Flood forecasting review using Wireless Sensor Network

The aim of the present project is to review the technical and scientific state of the art of wireless sensor technologies and standards for wireless communications in the flood forecasting sector. In this project Forecasting model designed using WSNs (Wireless Sensor Networks) to predict flood in rivers using simple and fast calculations to provide real-time results and save the lives of people who may be affected by the flood. Natural disaster is a usual phenomenon by which the living as well as nonliving entities belong to the environment is suffering regularly. Human being does not have the power to totally uproot the natural calamity but the only thing Human can do is, it can predict natural calamity & take major steps to prevent it. There are many technologies available to predict and prevent the natural calamity. In this minor project I am surveying many papers and then finding out that employing Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) technology for predicting & preventing the flooding condition. WSN is preferred due to its cost effectiveness, faster transfer of data & accurate computation of required parameter for flood prediction & prevention. Another beauty of the WSN technology is that we could compute the required parameter by considering very few number of environmental parameter. In this paper a survey is done on flood prediction, forecasting & prevention through wireless sensor network.
