III. PROPOSED WORK
The aim of this project be developing a few system
which are efficient enough predict the weather conditions
and the level of water in water reservoir so that preventive
measures able be put in place priorly. This project be based
on Arduino. The Arduino Uno R3 be set up multiple
different devices like water level sensor for the water level
detection by capturing time between transmitting and
receiving.
Severe water logging bring daily work to halt. In orders
to save the lives of the people, their habitat and the
economy, a major step be to monitoring the data on real time
basis and when situation reaching a certain threshold, then
alert to providing to each individual living in the area which
is currently at risk. Even if difficult to avoid the natural
calamity but mandatory steps be to taken by the government
agencies to shifting population to a safe region and the
losses will get reduced to less than the 30%.The reasons
behind this be that flood be a very spontaneous disaster and
government agencies have to following multiple steps
before reaching to decision. In this cases, awareness among
the people be very necessary along with the government
officials provide that comprehensive and better result will

measurement of the water level, ultrasonic can detect rise
of the water at the river. When the water level increases the
ultrasound will give an alarm to give a signal. Usually, the
ultrasonic can make a measurement, the range of
measurement 10cm to 400cm for the water. In this project,
