If Britain can reach 40 degrees Celsius, Australia needs to prepare for even more deadly temperatures. European he

Rwanda will deploy flood sensors nationwide to strengthen its early warning system. Flood sensors (water level detectors) are installed in rivers, drainage channels and lakes by Rwanda to control and control the effects of rainwater (abnormal amounts of surface water) caused by heavy rains leading to floods. It's one of the investments. This move is based on the fact that Rwanda has lost more than 204 billion Rwanda as a result of inadequate stormwater management due to disasters such as floods and landslides. From January to mid-October last year, about 100 people were killed and 195 were injured in 4,444 disasters, mainly floods and landslides. At least 107 people died in the disaster in January-April this year alone. "Flood sensors update the water level, volume, depth and speed of rainwater in rivers and drainage channels every 5 to 15 minutes," said Rwanda Water Resources Commission (RWB) Flood Management and Reservoir Development Manager.
