Tender for the ₹2 crore project likely to be finalised next month
Soon, there will be a system in place that will issue a warning when the water level in stormwater drains in the city reaches the danger mark. A total of 105 water level sensors will be fitted along the 804-km storm water drain network in the city to issue flood warning. The Karnataka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre (KSNDMC) has floated a tender for the ₹2 crore project, which includes installation of these water level sensors, backend hardware and software, employing the necessary manpower among other things. The sensors will be solar powered and will transmit real-time information on the water level in the stormwater drains. Already, 28 sensors have been installed on a pilot basis. The last date for applying for the tender is June 29 and the technical bid will be opened on June 30. The tender is likely to be finalised next month, said officials.
