AI flood alert ahead of call, no waiting for Utu Department page

In countries where rain comes fast and water rises even faster, knowing before is everything.
Yet many flood-prone areas still rely on centralized data that arrives too late.

Canal One’s Water Level Monitoring solution puts an “intelligent brain” at the frontline – measuring water levels in real time and automatically alerting the people who must decide, so teams can act before water overtops dikes or floods critical areas.

What is Water-Level Monitoring on the ASAP Platform?

ASAP (All Smart AI Platform) is an AI platform that works with your existing devices to analyze, distinguish, and detect abnormal event trends across:

• Safety
• Environment
• Disaster risk

It combines Water Level Monitoring, Air Quality, and Temperature Monitoring in a single system, and can automatically contact the responsible agencies once predefined severity thresholds are reached.

Why “proactive prevention” with Edge AI at the frontline?

Faster

Process at the network edge (Edge AI) to reduce latency from sending everything to the cloud.
Ideal for sites with unstable or intermittent connectivity.

Safer

Store only the data that’s necessary, reduce unnecessary cloud transmission, and combine cyber + physical signals into a single view via the Unified Security System.

Keeps working

Send alerts to a wide range of field devices—such as radios, sirens/strobes, and mobile phones—so information reaches teams faster and responses stay on time.

From “monitoring” to “prevention” in 4 automated steps

1. Measure & analyze
   Water-level sensors send readings to ASAP, which evaluates trends (e.g., rate of rise, critical thresholds) and filters out noise.
2. Real-time alerts
   Automatic notifications are sent to the devices teams actually use (mobile, apps, radios, etc.).
3. Link to SOPs
   The system attaches step-by-step SOP recommendations and can trigger automatic actions such as:
   • Turning on sirens
   • Blocking or closing areas
   • Sending warnings to communities or relevant agencies
4. Advanced response (ASAP+)
   When needed, elevate to ASAP+ to automatically dispatch drones to inspect water paths/blind spots, verify conditions, and guide field teams.

Connect existing devices and scale in phases

ASAP supports Multi-Platform & IoT Integration, connecting:

• Water-level sensors
• CCTV
• Public address systems
• Radios
• Apps
• Existing command center systems

…into one platform, without vendor lock-in, and can be scaled site by site based on risk and budget.

Who benefits right away?

Urban districts / municipalities

Get early warning of canals and drainage channels nearing overflow, enabling faster road closure, rerouting, and community alerts.

Industrial estates / warehouses

Monitor flood risk in loading/unloading areas and plant rooms, and trigger automatic SOPs for utility and maintenance teams.

Power plants / critical infrastructure

Combine water-level data with cameras and other sensors in a Smart Integrated Operation Center (IOC) to support faster, more accurate decisions.

Green Tech: Safer and more sustainable

Canal One’s approach combines AI Green Tech to:

• Reduce the energy consumption of camera, network, and monitoring infrastructure
• Operate effectively under energy constraints
• Improve safety without adding unnecessary carbon footprint

How to Start (Water-Level Roadmap)

1. Survey risk points
   Identify critical canals, channels, low-lying spots, and vulnerable structures.
2. Phase sensor deployment
   Start with the most critical points and connect them to ASAP via API / Universal Connector.
3. Set thresholds & SOPs
   Define 3 alert levels, notification channels, and measurable automatic response plans.
4. Drill & refine
   Simulate heavy rain and blocked drainage scenarios, adjust thresholds for local reality.
   (All of this works together with On-the-Go Monitoring, so management and field teams share the same situational picture.)

“See first – warn first – act first”

Water-Level Monitoring on the ASAP Platform changes the game from “just monitoring” to “true prevention” with:

• Edge AI at the frontline
• Real-time alerts
• SOP integration
• Automatic contact with responsible agencies

…helping reduce life and economic losses in the critical minutes that matter most.

FAQ

Why use AI instead of simple water-level sensors?
A basic sensor only “knows the number”—it doesn’t act.
ASAP uses AI to analyze trends, apply alert thresholds, and link to SOPs/Automation so field devices (sirens, announcements, barriers, etc.) can be triggered immediately.

If the internet goes down, can it still alert?
Yes. With an Edge-first design, processing and alerts happen on-site, reducing cloud dependence—ideal for unstable connectivity areas.

Which channels can alerts use?
Mobile, apps, radios, sirens/strobes, and any channels your team selects according to your organizational workflows.

Can the system send drones to inspect flood-prone areas?
Yes. When upgraded to ASAP+, it can automatically dispatch drones to check water routes and high-risk zones, then stream visual confirmation back to the command
