Abstract

Flooding is a hazardous natural calamity that causes significant damage to lives and infrastructure in the real world. Therefore, timely and accurate decision-making is essential for mitigating flood-related damages. The traditional flood prediction techniques often encounter challenges in accuracy, timeliness, complexity in handling dynamic flood patterns and leading to substandard flood management strategies. To address these challenges, there is a need for advanced machine learning models that can effectively analyze Internet of Things (IoT)-generated flood data and provide timely and accurate flood predictions. This paper proposes a novel approach-the Adaptive Momentum and Backpropagation (AM-BP) algorithm-for flood prediction and management in IoT networks. The AM-BP model combines the advantages of an adaptive momentum technique with the backpropagation algorithm to enhance flood prediction accuracy and efficiency. Real-world flood data is used for validation, demonstrating the superior performance of the AM-BP algorithm compared to traditional methods. In addition, multilayer high-end computing architecture (MLCA) is used to handle weather data such as rainfall, river water level, soil moisture, etc. The AM-BP’s real-time abilities enable proactive flood management, facilitating timely responses and effective disaster mitigation. Furthermore, the AM-BP algorithm can analyze large and complex datasets, integrating environmental and climatic factors for more accurate flood prediction. The evaluation result shows that the AM-BP algorithm outperforms traditional approaches with an accuracy rate of 96%, 96.4% F1-Measure, 97% Precision, and 95.9% Recall. The proposed AM-BP model presents a promising solution for flood prediction and management in IoT networks, contributing to more resilient and efficient flood control strategies, and ensuring the safety and well-being of communities at risk of flooding.
