Urbanization brings with it several consequences, both adverse and beneficial. Traffic congestion and urban flooding are two menacing problems of urbanization. This paper proposes an efficient solution to determine not just the traffic density but the nature of traffic flow and also the flood water level in case of an emergency situation. It also provides a solution to drain the flood water with no on site human intervention required. In comparison to conventional techniques the proposed system is a cost effective alternative, thus perfectly suitable for implementation in developing countries.
