IoT-Based Smart Flood Monitoring and Alert System
Abstract
Floods are one of the most devastating natural disasters, causing significant damage
to life and property worldwide. Early detection and timely alerts can greatly reduce
the impact of floods. This project presents an IoT-based smart flood monitoring and
alert system that continuously monitors water levels in vulnerable areas using
sensors connected to a microcontroller with internet connectivity. The system
collects real-time data and sends alerts to authorized users through SMS, mobile
app notifications, or emails when the water level crosses a predefined threshold.
This solution aims to provide an efficient, low-cost, and scalable approach to flood
management, enabling authorities and communities to respond proactively and
minimize damage.

Crowd-Sourced Data
Abstract
Air pollution poses a significant threat to public health and the environment. This project presents
the development of a low-cost, real-time air quality monitoring system, or AQI Tracker, that
leverages the Internet of Things (IoT). The system is designed to provide local, actionable air
quality data and contribute to a wider crowd-sourced data network. The hardware consists of an
ESP32 microcontroller as the central processing unit, interfaced with several key sensors: an
MQ135 gas sensor for detecting harmful gases (e.g., CO2, CO, NOx), a DHT11 for temperature and
humidity, and a BMP180 for atmospheric pressure. An OLED display provides real-time local
readings, while a buzzer is integrated to trigger alerts for unhealthy pollution levels. The system
uses the ESP32's integrated Wi-Fi to transmit all sensor data to a cloud-based service like Firebase.
This allows for the visualization of data on a live map, enabling a network of devices to provide
comprehensive air quality insights for specific areas such as schools, homes, and traffic-heavy
locations. The device’s functionality is enhanced by its ability to collect and share data, offering a
scalable solution for monitoring and managing air quality in urban and residential environments.
