Proposta de um modelo de alerta de inundações baseado em internet of things (iot) na região do Rio Movene no distrito de Boane

Abstract

The present study aims to propose a flood warning model based on the Internet of Things for the Movene River, in the district of Boane. Initially, we describe the operation of the current flood monitoring model, identifying the benefits and proposing a functional prototype capable of alerting the population living in the regions near the Movene River. The proposal of the model is to alert the residents about possible floods in the region, which when they occur have caused personal and material damages. To do so, advanced technologies will be used, such as the Internet of Things, to inform accurately and in advance the level of risk. In addition, more accessible engineering methods will be used, aiming at effectiveness and efficiency in solving society's problems. With this modern approach, it is expected to minimize the impacts of floods and provide greater safety and peace of mind for the population. The present study consists of an exploratory research, with results treated in a qualitative and quantitative manner. For data collection, secondary information was used, with the survey of data throughout the research and the analysis of this information. It was thus possible to conclude that it is vital to create preventive measures that can mitigate the possible damage caused by floods. However, it is important to highlight that the use of information and communication technologies is fundamental for the real-time detection when the waters approach or exceed the normal riverbed, allowing alerting the populations for evacuation.
