Abstract

Recently, across the globe use of big data has been increased to a great extent. Due to the use of computer, the generation of data in every domain has been increased to a great extent, due to the same a concept of big data has been crystallized among the researchers. Flood situation in India is very common, and due to the poor infrastructure, its control and management are difficult at the grassroot level. Surat is one of the cities in western India, which is highly prone to flooding situations. Urban flood control is one of the necessary needs in the context of smart urban planning and the said can be derived with the help of big data in today’s era. Similar to most advanced and developed cities of countries like US, Europe, China, and Japan leveraging the benefits of big data for flood control and mitigation, Surat can also make use of the big data. In the present paper, we have started with the overview the need of early prediction of flood and its control across the urban areas of the globe as well as Surat city, followed by the common advantages of big data in flood control for coastal cities like Surat as well as field-specific uses and concluded with a broad framework portraying big data in context to flood control of Surat city.
