Urban Flood Nowcasting System (Drainage and Rainfall Coupling)

Source

Source summary

The urban-flood proposal should couple rainfall nowcasts with high-resolution terrain and a directed-graph drainage model to estimate street-level inundation zero to three hours ahead. It should represent surface runoff, pipe/canal capacity, blockage and surcharge, then display predicted depths on a GIS dashboard. A navigation API should support alternative-route suggestions. Flood-free routes and exact street depths remain forecasts to validate, not guarantees.

Develop an AI/ML-driven system for granular monitoring, logging and analysis of the existing auto-routing system

Monitor and analyse existing grievance auto-routing to identify misdirected cases and compare agency redressal performance. The source asks that repeated complaints by habitual complainants not distort rankings. A possible web/mobile dashboard is for DARPG and relevant officials, informed by the existing GRAI ranking framework.
