Since 2018-19 at the start of the project, the Karnataka State Natural Disaster Management Centre (KSNDMC) has installed 132 water level sensors in many highly vulnerable and vulnerable areas prone to flooding in the city. These sensors issue a warning in real-time when the water level in the storm-water drains reaches the danger mark.
Of the 132 sensors, 105 were installed in November last at a cost of ₹1.03 crore. Around 27 sensors were installed on a pilot basis earlier to monitor the fluctuations in the water levels in the drains.
