Experts highlight AI’s potential in flood prediction, water management

Experts at a science workshop held at Madanapalle Institute of Technology and Science (MITS) Deemed to be University have highlighted the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in predicting floods and water scarcity, as well as enabling faster decisions on reservoir management, irrigation, and drinking water supply. The two-day Science Academies Workshop on 'AI and Space Technologies for Climate and Resource Monitoring' was organised by the CSE (AI and ML) department in collaboration with various national academies.

Indian Institute of Science (IISc) professor D. Nagesh Kumar emphasized the potential of integrating real-time sensor data, satellite imagery, and weather forecasts with AI for smart water resource management. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) scientist Kandula V. Subrahmanyam and National Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NARL) scientist Jyothi Narayan Bhate discussed AI applications in earth observation and climate monitoring.
