Claim 10:
11. A platform for monitoring water level elevation at one or more geographical locations, the platform comprising:
a plurality of sensor nodes, each sensor node associated with a predetermined geographical location, and positioned above an adjacent water surface at said predetermined geographical location;
where each sensor node comprises one or more environmental detectors, a wireless telemetry module, and a data collection module;
said sensor nodes measuring rainfall, air humidity, barometric pressure, air temperature, and distance between said sensor nodes and said water surface;
said data collection module comprising a software module configured to create and transmit an environmental data message containing collected environmental data pertaining to water level elevation of said water surface and changes in water level elevation over time;
a gateway device configured to receive and route the environmental data, the gateway device comprising an input telemetry module, an output telemetry module, a transceiver; and a gateway data collection module;
said gateway detection module configured to receive environmental data, apply an algorithm to aggregate and normalize said environmental data, and transmit said environmental data to a cloud-based platform;
a cloud platform configured to support real-time stream processing of sensor node environmental data, where said real-time stream processing comprises receiving and storing said environmental data, processing said environmental data to identify an environmental trend or condition predictive of and indicating a water surface level elevation exceeding pre-established heights, and/or flooding for said geographic location, generating an environmental data report containing said predictive information, and transmitting said environmental data report to an external client device;
said external client device configured to receive and display either the environmental data report or an alert notification as a text message, image, or combination of both.
