Abstract

Flooding is a common environmental problem that can cause serious damage to property and pose risks to human safety. Effective flood management requires early detection and timely response to rising water levels. This project, entitled “Automatic Flood Control”, presents an Arduino-based prototype system designed to monitor water levels and automatically control water pumps. The system uses a water level sensor to continuously detect changes in water height. When the water level reaches a predefined threshold, the Arduino activates a pump through a relay module to drain excess water.
