Which of the following is the unified inundation forecasting system launched by the Ministry of Jal Shakti in July 2025 that provides two‑days advance inundation forecasts up to village level in the form of flood‑inundation maps and water‑level predictions?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is (a) C‑FLOOD

Explanation:

• The Ministry of Jal Shakti launched C-FLOOD (Centralized Flood Forecasting and Inundation System) in July 2025.
• It is a unified inundation forecasting system developed to provide highly granular data to help in disaster management.
• The system offers two-day advance warnings, allowing local authorities to evacuate populations effectively.
• A key feature is its village-level accuracy, providing specific flood-inundation maps and predicted water levels.
• It integrates data from satellites, river gauges, and meteorological forecasts to generate real-time simulations.

• The Central Water Commission (CWC), under the Ministry of Jal Shakti, is the nodal agency for flood forecasting in India.
• C-FLOOD is part of the Digital India initiative to modernize hydrological services and minimize the loss of life and property during monsoons.

• This is a conceptual framework for policy integration but not the name of the specific technical forecasting system.

• While it sounds technical, it is not the official nomenclature of the system launched by the Ministry.

• This is an incorrect name; although the system covers villages, the official branding is C-FLOOD.
