Introduction:

A flood is a phenomenon where the water level in rivers and lakes is too large, leading to
inundation, dyke overflow, and dyke breakage. As you know, Vietnam is a country with a
narrow terrain, stretching from the North to the South, a country with many mountains and
rivers, especially Vietnam, is still in the tropical monsoon climate, so floods become more
frequent. become a very common phenomenon in our country. Every year, it can be seen that the
damage caused by floods greatly affects people's lives and properties. In 2020, floods and flash
floods on a large scale occurred in the central region of our country, making 249 people dead or
missing, and 1,531 houses collapsed, causing damage of over 36,000 billion VND.

And today, our group would like to present an early flood warning device, a solution that we
think is very effective to deal with and prevent natural disasters.

With huge natural disaster damage each year, the idea of an early flood warning system was soon
thought of, with the pioneering idea of "applying electric bells in flood warning" by two
students. Phu Tho in 2014. On that basis, there have been many similar ideas born such as the
flood warning system of student Nguyễn Huỳnh Nhật Thương (Faculty of electronics -
telecommunications, Da Nang University of Science and Technology) and group of friends in
2017, "Flood monitoring, warning and communication system" by Đỗ Xuân Đoàn, 12th grader
at Nguyen Hue High School, in 2022… The common point of these initiatives is through the
cooperation measure the water level to send a warning signal to the guard station, thereby
notifying the people and local authorities. However, we think that if the water level rises quickly
and the flood warning system suddenly comes back, people can't evacuate in time, then it's really
dangerous. Therefore, based on the existing ideas, our group will present a newer idea, which is
a flood warning device combined with a safe evacuation map.

Detail:

The structure of this warning system includes 4 devices:

Water level measuring device

Rainfall measuring device

Data collection and analysis equipment

Alarm device

These devices work by drawing energy from solar panels attached to the body of each device.

Water level measuring device:

The system applies early flood warning software with smart sensors connected to an
integrated transmission system - Camera AI. Flood warning monitoring water level camera
is an application designed to monitor the water level of rivers, reservoirs, dams and other
water bodies.
—->Working principle:

Based on advanced image processing algorithms, the application directly runs on an AI camera
with a smart sensor device placed inside the camera's field of view to help measure and monitor
the water level to visualize the image, Level detection, monitoring threshold and real-time water
level measurement. Then, the video image data is transmitted to the data collection and analysis
equipment in the monitoring center.

Rain measuring device:

The recommended precipitation measuring device for use today is the “Automated
Quantometer”.

→Working principle: wobble and automatically record precipitation on electronic devices

(Usually measured in combination with other meteorological factors). This device automatically
records rainfall, saves it in memory and when needed then access data with specialized software.

This device helps predict the amount of rain in the coming hours and days, contributing to the
search for flood prone areas and safe areas.

Data collection and analysis equipment:

The data collected from the AI Camera and the Precipitation Meter is sent to the application of
the host computer at the monitoring centers located on the mountain. There will be staff on duty
to rotate and monitor the results obtained to analyze and draw conclusions about the situation in
the coming time.

Besides rain and water level measuring devices, it should be used in conjunction with
topographic maps obtained from radar equipment to search for safe areas and evacuate locals
early in case of emergencies. as well as protect natural resources, avoid damage to people and
property.

Alarm device:

The alarm device put into use is an automatic radio station consisting of a sensor and a set of
high-powered loudspeakers. This device is connected to a water level meter, a rainfall meter and
a monitoring center.

When receiving information from the measuring device about heavy rain and the flood water
level rising to a specified dangerous level, the device will automatically alert people living
around the area to stay away from the area with fast flowing flood water. .
This device also receives notifications from the monitoring center and broadcasts it to the
community asking the migrants about the safe place to live that the monitoring center has
suggested.

So, what makes your product different from others?

What differentiates our product from our predecessors is the addition of radar that searches for a
safe, flood-free and flood-free area. This device will scan the area, then conduct a check of rain
gauges and water level gauges to see if the area is safe enough. Then the superior leader will
make a decision and notify the areas that are in an emergency situation to immediately evacuate
to the designated safe area.

Limitations:

The distribution of the location of the rain gauge (gếts) is not uniform, there are places with a lot
of rain, some places with little rain, so the measurement (me rờ mần) results obtained will not be
accurate(ac kiu rây). Besides, the cost of raw materials for production is high, mainly because of
technological components(kem pâu nần). In the event of an incident, it will be difficult for
humans to overcome in extreme weather conditions. On the other hand, as we all know, the
climate in Vietnam is very erratic (e ra tik) , so sudden changes in the environment can also lead
to deviations (de vi ây sừn) when the system works, and the biggest difficulty is probably the
installation (ins to lây sừn) on mountainous terrain, where floods often occur (ắc cờ)…

Recommendations:

Through the process of learning about the early flood forecasting system, our group would like
to make some suggestions : First, we need to call for investment. Because we think this is a very
practical(prac ti cô) and important (im pos ừn ) idea, however, this system has a rather large
scale (s keo lồ) , requires a lot of money, human resources, and so on. Therefore, calling for
investment is necessary. Besides, we also think that it is necessary to distribute rain gauges in
more reasonable locations to be able to measure accurately and most effectively.

Ending:

Good preparation(re pờ rấy sừn) will help reduce the loss of life and property during each flood.

We cannot completely prevent floods, but we can improve warning, monitor ( ma nờ đờ) and
provide timely flood avoidance plans with flood monitoring and early warning systems on rivers
(rever) to avoid serious (xi ri ơts) losses.

Our presentation( p re dừn tây sừn) ends here. Hopefully through here you have learned more
about a device that brings a lot of value to society. Thank you for listening.
