  • National Centre for Coastal Research (NCCR) has invented Chennai Flood Warning System (C-FLOWS) to estimate & predict flooding within Chennai.
  • It is a six-module ensemble which can predict flooding due to heavy rainfall sea-level rise and increase in water levels of the three rivers,
    • Cooum,
    • Adyar and
    • Kosasthalaiyar

that traverse the Chennai city.

  • The State government shared data such as ward boundaries, population details, and infrastructure available across Tamil Nadu, which have been used in the warning system.
  • C-FLOWS will also be integrated with TN-SMART.
