 Introduction
 Excessive rainfall cause extremely large numbers of fatalities in every country,
but due to India's extremely high population density and often under-enforced
development standards, large amount of damages and many deaths which
could be otherwise avoided.

 The problem of excessive rainfall is one of the main concerns now a day so
there is a huge requirement to analyse the problem and to find the solution. The
project is being implemented with the help of arduino software we use to
analyse the system with the help of GSM installed which works to transmit and
receive the information.

 Problem Statement
 Weather forecasting system was used earlier to detect heavy rainfall where
the people used to get the notification after the rainfall.

 The existing system only informs the people near dams about the rainfall
and the next occurring floods through the increase of water level and the
respective authorities to take action to evacuate the local civilians.

 “Early Flood Detection System using Android Application” in this project

the water level we get will be in cm. This will be done in arduino
programming
 Objectives
The main objective of this project is to develop and design a detection
system that will detect road blockage automatically and send data to the Local
Government Unit and to residents using an Arduino.
Specific Objectives :
 To design a circuit and create a programming code using the
microcontroller.
 To apply the Serial Communication in transmitting the data from one place
to another place.
 To detect the current level of the water which blocks roads through the
system sensor which is divided into four levels.

 Results
The users mobile will receive the SMS through GSM that the following road
is blocked. So, the passenger can take another route for a safe journey.
 Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages:
 System works offline, working well even during the absence of internet.
 It is easy to place a sensor model on the roads to check the excessive rainfall.
 It is easy to use for the local civilians and authorities.

Disadvantages:
 Charge is required to use mobile phone.
 Network is required to receive the SMS.
 The circuit is Delicate so Protection is needed.
 Conclusion
 This design can be of great help in real life in the road blockage area
especially those road that are in lower regions.
 Heavy rainfall is a natural disaster which cannot be predicted easily, but we
worked on this cause and developed a system which tries to detect road
blockage and give early intimation to nearby people.
 The model also promotes the use of real-time monitoring system through the
developed web-based application and SMS notification system as an easy
medium in disseminating information particularly in the remote areas.
