Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh — In a landmark move toward climate-resilient urban infrastructure, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath officially inaugurated the Urban Flood Management Cell (UFMC) at the Gorakhpur Municipal Office on July 23. This cutting-edge facility, powered by Canarys Automations Ltd, marks a significant leap in India’s approach to urban disaster preparedness and flood resilience.

Built on the guiding principles of “Predict, Prepare, and Protect,” the UFMC serves as the nerve center of an advanced Urban Flood Forecasting and Early Warning System (U-FFEWS). The system provides hyperlocal rainfall predictions, real-time monitoring, strategic planning, and emergency response coordination to safeguard Gorakhpur’s citizens and infrastructure.

A Game-Changer for Flood Management

The UFMC integrates sophisticated hydrological and hydraulic models, real-time sensors, and a decision-support system to deliver timely alerts and actionable intelligence to civic authorities. Developed by Canarys Automations Ltd, a leading technology provider in water resource management, the system is designed to predict flood risks, prepare response mechanisms, and protect vulnerable zones through rapid intervention.

There was a time when a single day of rain would shut the city down. Today, even after hours of rainfall, life goes on. That’s the transformation we’ve achieved,” said Dr. Saumya Srivastava, Centre Head of the UFMC.

Key Features of the Urban Flood Management System

  • Predict: Uses multi-model weather forecasting and 2D flood simulation software to identify potential flood hotspots, assess impact, and predict how long waterlogging may persist.
  • Prepare: Analyzes historical flood data, live sensor feeds, and drainage system inventories to plan interventions, optimize resource deployment, and reroute water if needed.
  • Protect: Enables real-time coordination between engineering and sanitation teams via alerts, dynamic risk modeling during rainfall events, and continuous monitoring of water levels.

Strategic Partnership with Canarys

Canarys Automations Ltd provided the complete technology backbone for the project—combining hardware, proprietary software (U-FFEWS), and field-level SOPs. The company’s system has already shown measurable benefits during the 2025 monsoon season, minimizing flood-related disruptions and improving urban mobility during heavy rainfalls.

We are proud to support Gorakhpur’s vision of building a safer, more resilient city. This project is a blueprint for the future of urban flood management across India,” said a representative from Canarys Automations Ltd.

A Model for the Nation

The Gorakhpur UFMC is India’s first urban flood management cell with a fully integrated, real-time early warning system. The initiative is part of a broader push by the Uttar Pradesh government to modernize civic infrastructure and prepare cities for extreme weather linked to climate change.

The success of this project could pave the way for similar systems in other flood-prone cities across India.
