Abstract: This paper represents the development of flood monitoring system using the platform of Thingspeak application for storing and retrieving data from the systems using the HTTP protocol over Local Area Network. This system is based on one NodeMCU board integrated with the Thingspeak application. Firstly, a NodeMCU is placed in the flood prone areas where the NodeMCU acts as the transmitting unit which consists of an ultrasonic sensor that is used for the detection of the water level at the time of floods and then the data is displayed through the LCD. Now the data collected by the ultrasonic sensors will be passed to Thingspeak web application. In order to find the rate of flow a water flow meter is used which writes the flow rate to the Thingspeak application. Thingspeak stores data in private channel by default, but there is an opportunity to share data among the public by using the public channel. Thus the result obtained shows the designed system is capable of monitoring the flood prone areas.
