Abstract: ABSTRACT METHODOLOGY FOR PRESERVING TRIBAL LIVELIHOODS VIA FOLKLORE INFORMED FLOOD ADAPTATION TECHNOLOGIES IN ASSAM Flooding is a recurring environmental challenge in Assam, particularly in tribal regions located near the Brahmaputra River Basin. Frequent floods severely affect livelihoods, agriculture, housing, cultural heritage, and economic stability. Tribal communities in Assam possess valuable folklore-based traditional knowledge related to flood prediction, water management, crop adaptation, and survival strategies. However, modern flood adaptation systems often ignore indigenous knowledge and local cultural practices. This paper proposes a methodology for preserving tribal livelihoods through Folklore-Informed Flood Adaptation Technologies in Assam. The proposed framework integrates traditional tribal knowledge, IoT-based environmental monitoring, cloud-based data analysis, and adaptive flood management systems. The system collects environmental data and indigenous knowledge patterns, analyzes flood risks, and provides adaptive recommendations for sustainable livelihood protection. The proposed methodology improves flood resilience, preserves cultural heritage, supports sustainable agriculture, and enhances disaster preparedness in tribal communities.
