- The Central Water Commission launched an app, called ‘Floodwatch’, which can forecast the chances of floods a day in advance.
- It also provides a seven-day advisory on the chances of floods at various stations in the country where the CWC maintains its measurement gauges.
- The app has a map of India with coloured circles at water stations across the country indicating the current risk of flooding.
| Colour | Risk |
| Green | Normal |
| Yellow | Above normal |
| Orange | Severe |
| Red | Extreme |
- Clicking on a circle shows the current water level at the station, the highest level historically attained, the danger level and warning level.
- The warnings are in English or Hindi with an option for a voice-enabled prompt.
- The app will also provide State-wise/basin-wide flood forecast up to 24 hours or flood advisory, up to seven days, that can be accessed via selecting specific stations.
- Flood watch uses advance technologies such as satellite data analysis, mathematical modelling and real-time monitoring to deliver accurate and timely flood forecasts.
