Smart River Water Level Monitoring System Using IoT

Abstract: India is a riverine country; Riverine civilization has developed in India since ancient times. Our India has grown crops around this river. Just as the river has made our country rich in crops, the raging nature of the river has repeatedly brought our country to the brink of destruction. Almost every year, erosion along with floods cause financial and other losses in India. Due to climate change and the damming of rivers every year, river water dries up during summers, and floods during monsoons can cause sudden rises in water and cause loss of life and other damage to humans and other animals. I have tried to show here, Technically and using IoT - that there will be three dimensions to the water level of a river or sea. The first dimension will be the normal dimension second dimension will be the abnormal dimension third dimension will be the super abnormal dimension. And in this case of water level monitoring the three levels will be indicated by three different lights, when the water level in the river reaches the warning level or worse, the authorities in the river zone or sea zone will be notified through messages and warning sirens will be sounded if necessary. In this research paper of mine, the Smart River Water Level Monitoring System model I am trying to show, if implemented, People cattle or property can be saved from the damage caused by flash floods in riparian areas. Apart from that, how the research topics related to rivers can be further improved, those possible topics are discussed in this research paper
