The Union Minister for Jal Shakti launched Version 2.0 of the ‘FloodWatch India’ mobile app by the Central Water Commission (CWC).
The app provides real-time flood information and 7-day forecasts to the public in English and Hindi, with both readable and audio formats.
Users can monitor flood situations across the country using real-time river flow data and get flood forecasts at nearby stations.
The app includes advanced technologies like satellite data analysis and mathematical modeling.
Version 2.0 adds 392 more flood monitoring stations, totaling 592, and provides storage information for 150 major reservoirs to better predict downstream flood situations.
