Project Title: EcoWatch: Building an environmental monitoring system for sustainable future
Sponsorship: NA
Synopsis:
▪ Problem Statement:
Landslide-prone regions lack real-time monitoring systems, leaving communities and
infrastructure vulnerable to destructive impacts. Traditional methods are costly, limited in
scalability, and reliant on centralized infrastructure. Timely detection and prediction of
landslide events are challenging, posing significant risks to life and property. Urgent
solutions are needed to establish effective monitoring systems for proactive risk
mitigation in these areas.

▪ Introduction:
This device will help monitor landslide-prone areas that affect the community (humans
and all living beings) living in that remote area for easy migration and for mitigating
the potential impact of these disasters. The few factors involved are: -
1. Temperature of surroundings
2. Humidity of air
3. Moisture of soil
4. Wind velocity
5. Detection of rain
6. Wind Direction.etc

Using Object-based Image Analysis” 2022: This paper proposes immediate
recognition of landslides after a disaster is essential in assessing the consequent
hazards and risks present in the affected areas. Landslide mapping has been done
accurately through manual interpretation of high-resolution aerial imagery.
However, to speed up the process of landslide delineation, several studies
developed semi-automated techniques using object-based image analysis (OBIA)
for landslide recognition.

Road Safety in Landslide Prone Areas : Real- Time LoRa Based Landslide
Detection and Warning System” 2023 : This research aims to design a realtime
landslide detection system based on LoRa and the MPU6050 sensor and provide
warnings to road users via rotator lights. They created a prototype and performed
various transmitter position tests. In the experiment, they set the transmitter
perpendicular to the ground surface and recorded the X, Y, and Z axes -0.07, 0.16,
and 4.30 as the sensor threshold. When the transmitter position changes, the
5
receiver will compare the data with the threshold data and trigger the rotary light to
turn on.
