An IoT-based automated flood protection system designed to protect agricultural fields and riverside areas from sudden flooding using sensor-driven automation.
Flooding causes major damage to agricultural lands and low-lying areas. Manual monitoring is inefficient and delayed.
The system detects rising water levels using sensors and automatically activates a protective boundary mechanism using stepper motors.
- Arduino Uno
- Water Level Sensor
- Stepper Motor
- Buzzer Alert System
- Rain sensor activates early warning buzzer.
- Water level crossing threshold triggers barrier deployment.
- Stepper motor rotates 720° to raise boundary.
- When water recedes, barrier automatically resets.
- // Flood detection thresholds (experimentally calibrated)
A working prototype demonstration of the Automated Flood Protection System:
