Providing electronic early warning system at downstream locations of the dam of any hydro electric power project has been made mandatory by Government in India. Previously installed electro-mechanical hooter based siren systems are not fully effective in preventing accidents at downstream locations during release of water from dam. All these sirens use obsolete technology, which has inherent limitations. The old siren systems are now being replaced with modern electronic siren systems in hydro electric projects in India. Installation of modern siren systems can also be useful for large industries for sending warning messages to public living near the vicinity in the event of industrial accidents.
