Indira Priyadarshinee, Kabita Sahoo, Chandrakant Mallick . Flood Prediction and Prevention through Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN): A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 113, 9 ( March 2015), 30-36. DOI=10.5120/19855-1795
Natural disaster is a usual phenomenon by which the living as well as nonliving entities belong to the environment is suffering regularly. Human being does not have the power to totally uproot the natural calamity but the only thing Human can do is, it can predict natural calamity & take major steps to prevent it. There are many technologies available to predict and prevent the natural calamity. In this paper we are employing Wireless Sensor Networking (WSN) technology for predicting & preventing the flooding condition. WSN is preferred due to its cost effectiveness, faster transfer of data & accurate computation of required parameter for flood prediction & prevention. Another beauty of the WSN technology is that we could compute the required parameter by considering very few number of environmental parameter. In this paper a survey is done on flood prediction & prevention through wireless sensor network.
