The tutorials in this repo's wiki provide step-by-step instructions to build and deploy Sunny Day Flooding Sensors to measure coastal flooding. The source files for the wiki are also available in the wiki folder within the main repo. Open an issue to ask question or provide documentation suggestions!
The sensor framework – which we coin SuDS: the Sunny Day flood Sensors ☀️🌊 – consists of a pressure logger deployed within a storm drain and a communications gateway equipped with a camera.
Data are streamed to a web-based (open-source) platform for real-time communication of flood hazard. See the project's data viewer and its code
This framework overcomes limitations of existing instrumentation by:
- Identifying street flooding from a combination of under- and above-ground sources, and
- Allowing for real-time communication of flood depths and visual confirmation of flood extent.
