Ask Our Experts on Early Warning System for Flood Prediction – Episode 57

India’s flood forecasting systems are using supercomputing, hydrodynamic modelling and real-time data to predict flooding and provide early warnings — even at the village level.

In this episode of Digital India Ask Our Experts, we explore the Early Warning System for Flood Prediction for River Basins of India, developed by C-DAC Pune under the National Supercomputing Mission. How early can a flood be predicted? How does the system identify areas likely to be inundated? Can technology help us decide when to evacuate — and what should citizens do when an alert is received?

Watch the episode to understand how technology is helping India prepare before the flood arrives, rather than respond after it does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8v70ZFiC90&list=PLHdRh1lHRECkYclg1W6E3Q7UMlQimjTUj&index=1
