Abstract:
This study focuses on developing and evaluating an Automated Flood Water Level Sensor and Alarm System using Arduino Uno to bolster flood monitoring and early warning capabilities. The system integrates water level sensors with Arduino Uno to detect rising water levels and trigger alarms for timely alerts. By investigating the system’s effectiveness across various parameters like accuracy, effectiveness, maximum distance detection, and water level measurement, the research aimed to provide insights into its performance and potential impact on flood resilience efforts. Key components such as ultrasonic, capacitive, and sound sensors are incorporated into the system to provide real-time data on water levels. The study underscores the importance of automated flood detection systems in mitigating the devastating consequences of floods, especially in flood-prone regions. By harnessing Arduino technology and sensor capabilities, the research seeks to empower communities to respond promptly and effectively to flood events, safeguarding lives and property. The significant findings indicate that the system demonstrates high accuracy, effectiveness, reliability, and responsiveness in detecting floods and monitoring water levels. Integrating the water sensor, LEDs, and buzzer proved highly effective, and there was no significant difference in performance compared to existing flood monitoring methods. This contributes to advancing flood monitoring technology and enhancing disaster preparedness strategies, offering valuable insights for future research. Future researchers may incorporate technology like apps, messages, or QR codes that can effectively disseminate critical information to those in affected areas, helping them stay safe and take necessary precautions.
