Want to know at any given time what level the water is near your home, on your dock or at a certain point of your property? There’s apps for that, and technology to help.
The Challenge
For folks who have lived along the water all of their lives, there are low-tech, tried and true solutions in place for monitoring water levels.
You know, for example, that when the water reaches the top of your neighbor’s bulk head, that means your driveway is likely flooded, too.
Or when the water reaches the third step of your dock you won’t be able to get out of your driveway.
But what about people who are new to living on the water, who are still becoming students of the water? Or folks who want to be able to monitor the water level with a more technical solution?
The Solution
There’s an app for that.
Technologies are available for homeowners to access water level data at their fingertips. Some include intuitive and interactive maps and graphs. Some can even be connected to apps for homeowners to access wherever they are.
The Impact with Fight the Flood
Fight the Flood is working to connect companies with homeowners who want a technical solution to monitoring water levels on their properties, technology that can be set to automatically give homeowners alerts.
Monitors and apps exist to provide official flood warnings from the National Weather Service, water heights in feet, current conditions as compared to history, push notifications, graphs and more.
