Flood forecasting involves collecting data on factors like rainfall, river levels, and soil moisture. This data is then analyzed using computer models to predict how much and where flooding might occur. Advanced warning can then be issued to help communities prepare and take measures to reduce the impact of the flooding.
Flood Forecasting Centre was created in 2009.
Three tools that can supply information for forecasting floods are statistical studies, flood hazard mapping. and computer models. Another method is satellite-based flood forecasting.

Planning and forecasting are two principles that have to work together. During planning of financial projects forecasting will be used to estimate various aspects of the project and so on.

The technology is called satellite imaging. Here environmental activities such as flood are monitored using satellite. The information is transmitted to monitoring centers which transfers these warning to man.
