Predict Floods
Before They Happen
AI-powered early warning for mountain communities
TorrentSext combines low-cost sensor networks with GPS positioning and machine learning to detect the telltale angle shifts in rushing water that precede catastrophic flooding events—giving communities hours of warning instead of minutes.
🌄 The 47-Minute Miracle
A village in the Andes receives a 47-minute warning on their phones that a torrent upstream has hit the critical angle. They evacuate to higher ground with their belongings before the flood avalanche even forms. From safety, they watch the river rise—knowing exactly when the danger will pass.
How It Works
📡 Flow Sensors
Low-cost sensors measure water velocity and depth patterns in real-time, detecting subtle changes that signal danger.
🧭 Terrain Analysis
GPS positioning creates a terrain sextant, tracking angle shifts as water momentum builds on slopes.
🤖 AI Prediction
Machine learning models analyze sensor data to predict flood probability up to 2 hours in advance.
