🌊 Flood-Detector

A simple GSM-based Flood Detection System using gizDuino (Arduino-compatible board), SIM900D GSM module, and US-100 Ultrasonic Sensor.
This project detects rising water levels and automatically sends SMS alerts to registered phone numbers.

---

🧠 Overview

This flood detection system continuously monitors water levels using sensors connected to a gizDuino board.
Depending on the water height, it sends warning messages via the GSM network to predefined mobile numbers.
The system also triggers indicator LEDs and a buzzer based on alert levels.

📡 SMS Notifications

Water Level	SMS Message
Normal	"Water Level Status: Normal"
Level 1	"Water Level Status: Level 1"
Level 2	"Water Level Status: Level 2"
Level 3	"Water Level Status: Level 3"

Messages are sent to all registered phone numbers defined in the regNumbers[] array:

char* regNumbers[] = {"09150000000", "09360000000"};
int numNumbers = 2;

⚠️ Notes

• Ensure GSM antenna is properly connected.
• Use an active SIM card with SMS capability.
• Power supply should meet the GSM module’s current requirement (2A peak recommended).
• Test each water level sensor before full deployment.
