Abstract
This paper describes overview of a real time wireless flood monitoring
system by using the concept of the ultrasonic sensors. Everything in the
modern human life has undergone rapid development. This development
is supported by the advance of electronics and information technology,
so we have built a system which can automatically sense the water level
at a reservoir and cannels then send these values to the control room
through the WiFi module along with this it gives an SMS alert through
the GSM module.

Keywords: Water level measurement, Ultrasonic distance measurement

module HC-SR04, ATMEGA328P microcontroller
