Mumbai Upgrades Rainwater Sensors with Anti-Theft Technology
Imagine special sensors that tell the city when it's raining too much and water is collecting in the streets.
The city is making these sensors better to prevent them from being stolen or damaged.
They are adding GPS trackers, so they can find them if they go missing, and also sensors to tell if a car hits them.
These sensors help the city know where the worst flooding happens, so they can fix it.
This helps keep streets safe and helps the city know how much rain is actually falling.
BMC is upgrading rainwater logging detection systems in Mumbai.
Upgrades include GPS anti-theft tracking, vehicle-hit sensors, and anti-tilt sensors.
The upgrades aim to prevent theft and damage to the systems.
The system measures water levels during heavy rainfall.
The system provides localized data on waterlogging in an area.
