NCCR's C-FLOWS — described as India's first integrated coastal flood warning system — forecasts ward-level inundation across Chennai up to about 10 days ahead, combining weather, hydrologic and hydrodynamic models for the Cooum, Adyar and Kosasthalaiyar rivers and sea level. Academic partners including IIT Bombay contributed radar-based rainfall nowcasting. Operational since 2019 under the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
