Abstract: 051] The present invention discloses a system for integrated flood prediction using satellite imagery and distributed sensor data. The system comprises a satellite data receiving module, a plurality of ground sensor nodes, an edge communication gateway, a terrain and catchment data store, a data validation engine, a hydrological fusion engine, a flood propagation assessment module, and an alert generation module. The satellite data receiving module receives satellite-derived hydrological observation data including rainfall, water spread, soil wetness, and river boundary variation. The ground sensor nodes measure physical parameters including rainfall intensity, river level, flow velocity, soil moisture, drainage level, and reservoir level. The data validation engine assigns reliability scores to satellite and sensor data based on sensor health, neighbouring readings, terrain behaviour, cloud obstruction, and data consistency. The hydrological fusion engine generates catchment-wise flood susceptibility states, while the flood propagation assessment module estimates downstream movement and expected flood arrival time. The alert generation module issues location-specific flood warnings with risk level, confidence value, and response priority. Accompanied Drawing [FIGS. 1-2]
