Development of sensor systems for floodwater monitoring and alerting

Abstract

This study addresses the systematic prediction of river water levels in Kazakhstan via hy-drological computations, which are essential for forecasting water-related events and formulatingplans for sustainable water resource management. Particular focus is placed on the significance ofprompt and efficient monitoring of river dynamics to alleviate natural disasters such as floods andmudflows, especially in high-risk places like Almaty, situated in geologically unstable mountainouslandscapes. The research focuses the potential of intelligent sensor-based monitoring systems thatcan gather real-time data on water levels, precipitation, soil moisture, and various environmentalconditions. Systems integrated with artificial intelligence and data analysis can substantiallyaugment decision-making processes, facilitate early warning mechanisms, and boost the precisionof forecasts. This method ultimately protects natural ecosystems and local communities from thedetrimental effects of hydrological hazards
