Fibromyalgia and chronic pain alert system using ShonaBondhu to handle flash flood

Flash flood is a common natural disaster of Bangladesh where flood water
suddenly rises in low land areas. It causes damage of crops and livestock
requiring real time water level prediction. The current water level monitoring
is manual where a measuring gauge is used for water level detection. There are
existing solution approaches for flood detection using technology. However, the
challenges of sensor installation require internet connectivity and infrastructure
support which is not available in all the flood affected areas.There is a requirement
of a solution approach that is low cost and can consider the infrastructure
limitations. The current research proposes real time water level measurement
using ultrasonic water level measurement containing a mobile based server that
minimizes the installation cost and utilizes the cellular network coverage across
the country for connectivity and communication. The mobile phone-based
server continuously collects water level information from sensors installed near
the river banks and once the water level rises above the danger level, alert messages are generated and disseminated to pre-
defined phones and systems. The system has been tested in laboratories as well as along the river banks in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The current system shows more than 99% of accuracy in real time water level detection and alert generation.
