C-FLOOD is India’s first unified flood forecasting platform, launched by Union Minister of Jal Shakti, Shri C.R. Patil, on July 2, 2025. Developed collaboratively by C-DAC, CWC, and NRSC under the National Supercomputing Mission (NSM), this innovative platform aims to provide two-day advance flood forecasts down to the village level. It integrates 2-D hydrodynamic modelling and real-time data from multiple river basins, including Mahanadi, Godavari, and Tapi. C-FLOOD serves as a vital decision-support tool for disaster management authorities, enabling timely evacuations and preparedness. Its web-based design and integration with emergency response portals enhance India’s resilience to flood-related disasters.
