Who developed the C-FLOOD, the Unified Inundation Forecasting System in India?

• C-FLOOD is a web-based platform providing two-day advance flood inundation forecasts up to village level through flood maps and water level predictions. • It was collaboratively developed by C-DAC, Pune and the Central Water Commission (CWC) under the Ministry of Jal Shakti. • The system integrates flood modeling outputs from national and regional agencies and uses advanced 2-D hydrodynamic modeling, with high-performance computing infrastructure at C-DAC Pune. • The platform currently covers the Mahanadi, Godavari, and Tapi basins, with plans to expand to other river basins, enhancing India’s flood management and disaster response capabilities.
