India is a disaster - prone country during the monsoon season. In this scenario, it leads to loss of life and damages homes and crops. To examine this phenomenon, we obtained many datasets from Kaggle that include rainfall, temperature, humidity, river flow data (river water level), elevation (land altitude), land use, land soil, rural and urban population density, the presence of roads and houses and whether or not there has been a past flood event. This study helps India deal with climate change and manage floods in a way by looking at water using geographic information systems and visualizing data.
