Tainan City Smart Flood Control Platform
Solution Description
Of all the areas that are prone to flooding in Taiwan, 1/3 of them are in Tainan City. In recent years, rainfall intensity and frequency have significantly increased due to global climate change. To optimize short time delay heavy rainfall alerts and emergency relief performance, Tainan City Government’s Water Resources Bureau set up the smart flood control platform which combines water regime monitoring data, disaster status, and computer simulations for further analysis and applications. With the platform’s assistance, related authorities can make better disaster prevention strategy decisions and conduct adequate distribution of disaster prevention and relief resources.
