Flood and drainage monitoring in Africa

Level, rain and flow sensing with alerts that give teams time to act before flooding. Built for Africa, with AJEEVI AI, IoT and software.

The challenge in Africa

Drains block and rivers rise with little warning, so teams react after streets are already under water.

Why it matters locally

Seasonal rains flood fast growing cities with limited drainage, and low cost sensors give communities earlier warning.

Typical places: Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Kigali and Accra.

What AJEEVI delivers

Flood and drainage monitoring on the same AI, IoT and command center stack used across every AJEEVI solution.

01

How it works

  • Level sensors watch drains, culverts, rivers and low roads
  • Rain gauges and forecasts feed early warning rules
  • Alerts reach control rooms, crews and public channels
  • Maps show blocked drains and flood hotspots for planning
02

Measure the results

Track these after go-live:

  • Warning lead time
  • Blocked drains cleared before rain
  • Flood hours per hotspot
  • Response time to alerts

From street to decision

Every flood and drainage monitoring project follows the same connected chain.

ActTeams alert, predict, optimise and automate with clear records.

Built for Africa

African cities are growing fast, often with patchy power and connectivity, limited maintenance budgets, and strong demand for solutions that are affordable, rugged and quick to roll out.

  • Solar and battery powered devices that keep working through grid outages
  • Low bandwidth designs with local buffering when connectivity drops
  • Compliance planning for laws such as POPIA in South Africa, the Kenya Data Protection Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act
  • Phased rollouts that start small and grow as budgets allow
  • Mobile first citizen channels, including SMS and WhatsApp style reporting

Standards and regulations vary by country, city and project. AJEEVI works with your team to confirm which apply before design starts.
