Predicting floods has always been a tricky problem since most rivers don't have flow meters. Google solved this problem by training machine learning models using a variety of relevant data (including historical events, river level readings, elevation and terrain readings, etc.).
Google used the model to generate localized maps and ran hundreds of thousands of simulations at each location to accurately predict upcoming floods.
Google says the model is only applicable to specific locations at this stage, but in the future it hopes to improve the technology and eventually solve the problem on a global scale. Google says existing tests show that it can predict floods as early as 7 days in advance, but the average prediction time is 5 days.
