A Survey on Active Flood Monitoring Systems

Abstract

Floods are normal catastrophic events that reason extreme pulverization of a territory. They
are regularly brought about by precipitation and overflow of waterways, especially amid
times of exorbitantly high precipitation. Environmental change has assumed a critical job in
causing expansive scale floods crosswise over focal India, including the Mumbai surges of
2006 and 2017. The rising number of outrageous downpours is credited to an expansion in
the changes of the storm westerly breezes, because of expanded warming in the Arabian Sea.
This outcomes in periodic floods of dampness transport from the Arabian Sea to the
subcontinent, bringing about substantial downpours going on for 2–3 days, and spread over
a locale sufficiently extensive to cause floods. This study does a survey of various active flood
monitoring systems that have been implemented till date.
