Floodplain Monitoring

Floodplain monitoring involves observing and assessing the areas adjacent to rivers and streams that are prone to flooding. This process includes collecting data on water levels, rainfall, soil moisture, and land use. The aim is to understand flood risks, support effective land management, and enhance community preparedness. By tracking changes over time, monitoring helps predict potential flooding events, enables timely warnings, and informs infrastructure planning. This ensures that communities can mitigate flood damage and protect lives and property.
