It is said that “necessity is the mother of all invention”, one needs to always be innovating and inventing as per the requirement of time. In many recent achievements, it can be observed that many engineers are not only taking this proverb seriously but have also proved it through their work.

A group of budding engineers from IIT Bombay felt that the city is often brought to a standstill situation with flooding due to heavy rainfall. This made them think about what can be done to help people during such situations. So they came up with a fascinating idea to use Twitter to share alerts on a real-time basis. The general public is alerted by Twitter when any such incident occurs in the city.
