High-Level Project Summary

Our issue is the Climate Change Disasters, so we have chosen the most frequent one of them which is Floods ! After we have identified the top Marginalized countries which suffer from Floods,then we've started to think about some solutions by merging technology (like water level sensors) with mechanical solutions (like water-gate) to create the best way to drain water and mitigate the effects of Floods against the people and their buildings.

Detailed Project Description

we help bring to light regions where marginalized populations are facing a higher burden from environmental hazards, lack of access to resources and opportunities, and design solutions to bring


We have used the Geocoded Disasters (GDIS) Dataset, v1 (1960 – 2018) through several steps:


We analyzed the data through which we were able to find the areas where most of the natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanoes occur.so we have chosen the most frequent one of them which is Floods ! 


Then we used the geographical maps to filter the countries and extract the poor countries in which these choirs occur, then we've started to think about some solutions by merging technology (like water level sensors) with mechanical solutions (like water-gate) to create the best way to drain water and mitigate the effects of Floods against the people and their buildings.

Hackathon Journey

It's been a really geat exprience. We have learnt a lot as individuals and as a team, we learnt how to conduct research about a challenge we weren't familiar with. We've chosen this challenge particularly because it affects millions of people around the world. The challenge wasn't easy but we managed to overcome the obstacles through determination and strong team work.
