Flood forecasting predicts the occurrence, magnitude, timing, and duration of floods .It is based on the power of AI to rapidly process extremely large and complex data sets. This section looks at some examples of AI-powered flood forecasting
Through AI-powered tools, Google Research is providing flood alerts through FloodHub, which offers flood forecasts to aid people and organisations in disaster response. This showcases breakthroughs in AI-based forecasting.

Flood Hub uses AI to provides real-time, localised flood forecasts up to seven days in advance. It integrates hydrologic data such as precipitation, weather patterns, and basin characteristics.with hydrographic data based on the hydrologic forecasts and satellite imagery to predict the specific areas that will be affected by flooding and estimate the expected water depth.
