C-Flood Unified Forecasting System
Context:
The Government has launched the web-based C-Flood platform to provide village-level inundation forecasts for Godavari, Tapi, and Mahanadi river basins.
C-Flood Unified Forecasting System
- The C-Flood Unified Inundation Forecasting System is a web-based platform designed for real-time flood management.
- It integrates outputs of 2D hydrodynamic models with flood extent and depth information, thereby enhancing the accuracy of predictions.
- Currently, it provides two-day advance inundation forecasts up to the village level in the Godavari, Tapi, and Mahanadi basins.
- The platform operates in Hindi, English, and Odia in its initial phase.
- It introduces a standardized flood alert categorization system:
- Yellow Alert: inundation < 0.5m
- Orange Alert: inundation < 1.5m
- Red Alert: inundation > 1.5m
- Data sources include satellite-based datasets and ground-based hydrological observations, making it a robust multi-source integrated system.
- From a disaster management perspective, the system reflects India’s effort to strengthen early warning and mitigation measures, aligning with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–30).
