Abstract— Due to poor maintenance of pathways in which
stormwater flows, the water gets into urban areas where people
live. Land encroachments are a major use faced. Buildings
built in the path block the flow of water, so the water gets
stagnant where the urban lives. Due to water stagnation in
urban areas, increases diseases caused due to impure water and
mosquito. Dumping of Garbage or Industrial Wastes into
water bodies and paths affects Public Health and Environment.
Around 80% of India’s water is severely polluted because
people garbage into the country’s rivers and lakes. This has led
to water being undrinkable and therefore the population
having to believe illegal and expensive sources. Out of the
whole Indian population, experts predict that 40% of
individuals might not have a connection to a clean water source
by 2030. Today, 1.1 billion people worldwide sleep in poverty
without access to a safe beverage. Water-related diseases are
among the foremost common causes of illness, affecting the
bulk in developing countries. Each year, quite 1.5 million
Indian children die from diarrhea. The proposed Mobile App
provides information for both flood management and water
management. The Mobile App continually provides state,
county, and native agencies with updated information about
flood hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation initiatives. The
complaints and information regarding the water blockage,
water stagnant, land encroachment, dumping of garbage or
industrial waste, poor maintenance of pathways, and early
flood alert are uploaded to the mobile application as pictures,
videos, and text messages with the necessary description. The
exact location of the affected areas can also be plotted on the
map for easy access by the government or other NGOs to
resolve the problems. The updates of the problem will be
shared via the app to the specific area or the people to know
the status of the problem. Notifications will be pushed after
resolving the problem and updates on water management
activities are received.
Keywords—land encroachments, stagnation, dumping of
garbage, mobile App, notifications
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Overview
Floods are the foremost lethal natural disasters in India.
India experienced 235 floods between the yeayears80 and
2017, which led to 126,286 deaths and affected 1.93 billion
people. Floods in India account for over 40 percent of the
deaths out of all the other natural disasters. Floods are
common disasters in India. When rivers overflow their banks
they cause damage to lives, property, and crops. Floods
usually are local, short-lived events that will happen
suddenly and sometimes with little or no warning. Rivers
also can flood their surroundings when the dams fail, when
ice temporarily blocks the course of the river channel or
when the snow melts rapidly. When rivers overflow and flow
over the land where people live it causes a flood. Again when
the river overflows a land where people don't live then it's
said to be flooding.
Many different situations can cause a flood. Some of
them are:
• Heavy rain at the catchment
• Melting of snow
• Cloudburst
• Storm surge
• Dams or levees breaking
Recent years have witnessed an outsized number of great
flood events around the world that led to thousands of deaths,
displacement of many people, and damage and economic
losses that amount to tens of billions of Euros. In addition,
projections of future climate changes and urban growth
indicate that flood risks are going to be exacerbated in many
regions. Consequently, governments, policymakers, and
communities worldwide are forced to review their flood
management strategies and invest more resources in
portfolios of structural and non-structural measures.
B. Objective
The main objective of the proposed model is to design a new
system for flood alert detection system integration in the
android application. In addition, to provide real-time
information about the flood and water-related problems and
provide an alert notifications system to end-user.
C. Problem statement
Most people don’t get prior information related to flood and
water management. So there is a need to find out the way to

XXX-X-XXXX-XXXX-X/XX/$XX.00 ©20XX IEEE

give details of the happenings around them. The problem
within disaster management isn't a lack of technology or
existence of the relevant information. It is often the lack of
accessibility of the information. The capability to efficiently
use information technologies to get and manage information,
and the power to critically evaluate, and appropriately apply
such information to unravel a rag, are the key spirit
determination to find out disaster recovery solutions.
Therefore, the means of identifying, locating, accessing
data, and determining is crucial for completing the
efficiency of the matter.
D. Scope
Our country has government bodies (Municipal
Corporation) that are responsible for maintaining and
running cities. It is their responsibility to deal with the
complaint of citizens. For this municipal Corporation has
two ways, first cameras or other surveillance devices have to
be installed and the second way is that citizens could report
their problems to the municipal corporation. The second
way is usually used because it's cheaper compared to the
first one. But it takes a lot of paperwork and time because
the citizens have to visit the office in person and report
problems faced them which can be solved by the municipal
corporation. Due to the emergence of the internet and its
various capabilities, there have been several complaints that
it provides citizens a platform to complain online. This
project aims to minimize of l damaged damage by floods by
giving timely updates and also solving the problems lodged
by people. This is done with the help of Government
authorities.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
A. Crowdsourcing based description using GIS
Nowadays, information extraction is very useful and
valuable. Information Extraction is the automated retrieval of
specific information associated with the selected topic.
Information extraction depends on named entity recognition
(NER), a subtotal used to find targeted information to extract.
NER recognizes entities first together of several categories
like location (LOC), persons(PER,) or organizations (ORG).
Once the knowledge category is recognized, an information
extraction utility extracts the named entity’s related
information and constructs a machine-readable document
from it, which algorithms can further process to extract
meaning. By Michael Marchionda - Crowdsourcing may be a
growing, fast-paced, and effective way for organizations to
collect the simplest ideas from online communities and use
them in ways that benefit both the organization and
contributor. In this paper w,e have discussed information
extraction which is the location from twitter that helps people
from organizations and many other backgrounds.
B. Crowdsourcing based description of urban emergency
events using social media big data
Crowdsourcing could even be a process of acquisition,
integration, and analysis of massive and heterogeneous data
generated by a diversity of sources in urban spaces, like
sensors, devices, vehicles, buildings, and humans. Especially,
nowadays, no countries, no communities, and no one is
immune to urban emergency events. Detection of urban
emergency events, e.g., fires, storms, and traffic jams are of
great importance to guard the safety of humans. Recently,
social media feeds are rapidly emerging as a unique platform
for providing and disseminating knowledge that's often
geographic. The content from social media usually includes
references to urban emergency events occurring at or
affecting specific locations due to water problems. during
this paper, so on describe and detect the important time urban
emergency event, the 5W (Why, What, Where, When, Who)
model is proposed. Firstly, users of social media are set
because of the target of crowdsourcing. Secondly, the
temporal and spatial information from social media is
extracted to detect the important time of the event. Thirdly, a
GIS-based annotation of the detected urban emergency of the
event is shown. The proposed method is evaluated with
extensive case studies that are supported by real urban
emergency events. The results show the efficiency and better
accuracy of the proposed method.
C. The importance of volunteered geographic information
for the validation of flood inundation models
Two-dimensional flood inundation models capable of
simulating temporally and complex spatially differentiated
floodplain flows are routinely used to model and predict
flooding. However, advances in modeling techniques haven't
been matched by improvements in model validation.
Validation of flood models remains challenging thanks to a
scarcity of obtainable spatially-explicit data; traditionally
measured data and validation approaches reveal little about
the power of a model to simulate the complex dynamics of
floodplain flows, including the pathways, timeline, and
impacts of an occasion. In this paper, we propose a unique
method for the validation of hydraulic models of flooding
using Volunteered Geographic Information. This method
uses VGI data to reinforce traditionally measured validation
data by reconstructing the observed dynamics of a flood,
allowing validation of the temporal and spatial simulation of
those dynamics. We illustrate the tactic by employing a case
study from Corbridge within the northeast of England, using
VGI collected through participatory research with people
suffering from severe flooding in 2015. The study is to
demonstrate that VGI data are often used for the effective
reconstruction of flood event dynamics. The results also
reveal that the proposed validation approach is in a position
to spot underperformance within the model’s simulation of
event dynamics not evaluated by standard global
performance measures. Such a scarcity of evaluation can
have adverse consequences where dynamic model outputs
are used locally to influence floodplain management. As a
result, we propose a new framework for model validation,
adopting a flexible and pragmatic approach to examining
event dynamics using a diverse range of data.
D. Raspberry Pi Based Water Quality Monitoring and
Flood Alerting System Using IoT
As of now multi-day water debasing is a victor among the
best suppositions of strain for the green globalization. to
guarantee the water ailment, first, we'd like to think about
the water parameters like ph, saturation, temperature, and
mems sensor because the sorts inside the estimations of
these parameters part closer to the closeness of
contamination. in this paper we plan and expansion a
straightforwardness structure for obvious checking of the
water astonishing in it. at present, water parameters are
perceived by techniques for a strategy for mix check or
research office test, wherein the seeing equipment's are table
 certain and examinations are given to discovering
substances. along these lines, the essentialness water
reasonable watching system is a guide structure with dull
strategy and is astoundingly terrible. with the end inspiration
to broaden the repeat, the evaluating sorts of mechanical
congregations might be placed in the water resources and
notoriety of pollution might be made remotely. this paper
proposes a sensor-based water brilliant checking contraption
that is executed for looking over extensive substance
parameters of the water. the parameters, for example,
temperature, ph, mems sensor, and stickiness of the water
might be anticipated. the organized properties of the sensors
can be made by techniques out of utilizing the center
controller. the raspberry pi model can be used as an inside
controller. at expansive last, the sensor data can be sure
about the web using a programming interface. the
uniqueness of our proposed paper is to urge a theater-
looking structure with uncommon repeat, high adaptability,
and espresso directed.
E. Web-GIS application for flood prediction and
monitoring
With heating and extensive infrastructure development on the
brink of rivers, the impacts of flooding events have greatly
increased over recent years. To support flood management,
early prediction is extremely useful. In this research, we've
developed a choice network for flood prediction and
monitoring that integrates GIS and hydrological modeling
with additional bridge sensors and users’ observations.
Hydrological modeling considers a wide range of
information that affect flooding such as snow conditions,
temperatures, precipitation patterns, water levels, and stream
to generate flood predictions. The predicted water levels for
subsequent 24 and 48 hours are often displayed via dynamic
sites and overlaid with maps of the transportation network,
property boundaries, municipal infrastructure, and water
depth contour lines. In conclusion, this research can provide
good flood prediction precision and powerful support to the
general public evacuation if flood events happen.
III. METHODOLOGY
A. Proposed method
As the hassle said the concept is to broaden a cellular app via
which the humans of a selected vicinity tormented by the
one’s issues can deliver a quick precision or seize the
mitigation importing it to the app which additionally
incorporates google earth centers in it that makes smooth to
factor the region. When the difficulty is uploaded, its miles
are immediately exceeded by the authorities who are liable
for clearing the difficulty. Once the problems are said thru
the app. It will display the fame of the lawsuits via
notifications with the monitoring details. After the recorders
are exceeded, a government or NGO will have a take a
observe it and take the critical steps to remedy the difficulty.
B. Working
 We are making a Mobile App that has info for each
flood management and water management.
 The Mobile App often provides state, county, and
native agencies with updated data concerning flood
hazards, vulnerabilities, and mitigation initiatives.
 The complaints and data relating to the water
blockage, water stagnant, land encroachment,
selling of garbage or industrial waste, poor
maintenance of pathways, and early flood alert area
unit were uploaded within the mobile application as
images, video, and text messages with the
mandatory description.
 The actual location of the affected areas also can be
aforethought within the map for straightforward
access by the govt. or alternative NGOs to resolve
the issues.
 The app additionally provides a user facility to look
at the standing of criticism till is resolved, whereas
an online system can facilitate officers at Municipal
Corporation to solve/reject criticism with reasons
and monitor the standing of criticism.
 The Aim of making this Application is to alter the
method of lodging criticism to individual
Municipal corporations and build it fast and low
cost.
The planned system contains the subsequent facilities over
the current system:
1. individuals will launch their complaints from any place
with the assistance of mobiles.
2. individuals will capture an image or transfer videos.
3. GPS facilities are provided so the user’s location may be
half-tracked simply.
4. straightforward and simple criticism launching page so
even a typical layperson also can use the system simply.
C. Workflow
Some sections are divided as commissioner, grievance
officer, head of the department, and employee each has its
login section. When the user launches a complaint, it is
forwarded to the grievance officer. The grievance officer has
to forward the complaint to the respective head of the
department if the complaint is genuine. Then the head of the
department will view the complaint and forward it to the
employee and finally, the employee will allow the problem
to the co-worker. CA co-worker will visit the place and
check whether the problem is true or not if true then he will
solve the problem. There will be a particular period assigned
in each stage. If at any stage they fail to solve the problem or
in case the complaint is not forwarded within the period then
the complaint will be directly forwarded to the
 commissioner. In case the complaint received is fake then
the grievance officer or employee has the right to reject the
complaint All the status will be visible to the person who
has launched the complaint. Users will be able to see
whether their complaint is solved, pending, or rejected. The
process of forwarding the complaints among officers and
employees will be kept hidden from the user.

D. System Architecture
The System architecture illustrates the entire content of the
system. It represents the interaction between the users, the
mobile application, and the administrator. The user can
choose to sign in using their mobile number and the OTP
sent. After logging in, the user can access the flood app to
send a description of the flood and pin the location, images  Complaint Module

database and can also be retrieved.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
A. Functional modules

The mobile application that gives flood information to users,
allows them to send complaints about the inaccessibility of
an area due to flood, receive notifications and get updates.
This mobile application is composed of five main modules:
 Login module
 Location tracking module
The application will be built in such a way that it
will provide the current location of the person
complaining can be tracked and will be visible to
the admin on the server-side.

Individual login facility is there for every officer

and employee so that they can see the complete
procedure of complaint and can even solve the
complaints. The procedure of forwarding the
complaints and solving complaints will not be
visible to the user. The user will only get to know
the status.
 Department wise login
This has been created based on the different
Departments in the database. The Admin within the
different departments can View the complaint that
is being launched to that particular department.
Also, the current status will be visible.

 Complaints management and updating
Admin based on the different departments can view
the complaints that are being launched to a
particular department. The Admin has the authority
to open or close the complaint. Then Admin can
also reply to the user in the form of a notification
that is being created when the admin updates the
complaint and will be made visible.
B. Test Plan and Test Activities
A test plan is necessary for any project to plan the testing
phase and decide the scope of the project. The test plan
involves collecting design specifications about the project,
wiring test cases, and executing them manually or
automatically using automated testing tools. Testing any
application is highly important. A test plan is necessary for
any project to plan the testing phase and decide the scope of
the project. The test plan involves collecting design
specifications about the project, wiring test cases, and
executing them manually or automatically using automated
testing tools. A test plan is a method of documenting the test
cases, specification plans, and other basic level details about
how the application works. Test Activities for this project
include various testing like:
• Black Box testing: In this project, sample test cases are
written and manual testing is done to check the functionality
of the application.
• White Box testing: Once the application meets the user
requirements and functionalities according to the test cases,
its internal logic is completely tested to ensure that the
application does not have any logical errors or issues.
• Unit Testing: We have tested all the modules of the
application individually by running it as a test program.
• Integration testing: After testing the modules individually,
tested them by integrating all the submodules, and modules
into one application.
• System Testing: It refers to checking whether the system in
which the application is built meets the requirements like
software support. For example: In this project, We have
checked whether the device in which the application was
developed is compatible with the software (Android Studio).
V. RESULT AND CONCLUSION
Integrating technology such as crowdsourcing to different
platforms and tools has a positive impact on a community
during a disaster regardless of the location. Crowdsourcing
using a smartphone is a conventional way to obtain data
regarding events such as natural disasters. Technology is
capable of saving lives even though natural disaster is
impossible to prevent from happening. Such technology
could help commuters monitor the flooded areas around us.
They can get directions going to their destination without
going to the flooded routes.
This app helps the commuters to view the flood information
of a specific area. It may serve as a medium that permits the
user to send reports and notifies the other users about the
accessibility of an area. The application gives stranded
commuters an alternative route.
Problems such as natural disasters are frequently happening
around the world. Citizens and Governments have learned
from their past experiences and are now capable of
addressing the adversities of the natural disaster.
Smartphones and other technology such as crowdsourcing is
needed for more people to be aware of the situation and save
property.
