Rainfall is an important natural parameter that is taken into consideration in all aspects of environment. Every year changing patterns of rainfall causes Drought leading to heavy loss of crops and thus livelihoods. Anticipating the rainfall can help saving these losses. This paper presents the proposed rainfall detection system that has rainfall sensors and Arduino as controlling unit that senses the rain and processes the data to generate the intensity of the rainfall for the required measures to be taken in advance. The system is devised to calculate intensity of rainfall and the consequent response taken by the authorities to regulate the flow of water. GSM module and Wi-Fi connected to a cloud server is used for local and remote alert notifications to the authority.
