  1. This paper addresses the need for infrastructure protection in Ohkay Owingeh, a tribal community located in a high desert region with a pronounced monsoon season. The extended dry period of 8-9 months makes the area susceptible to flooding during the monsoon season, leading to significant disruptions in transportation, infrastructure damage, and the displacement of tribal members. To mitigate these challenges, the adoption of smart sensing sonar LEWIS technology is proposed. The LEWIS sonar system will enable the detection of flood activity by measuring water level fluctuations. This valuable information will provide tribal members with an alert system to monitor and respond to flood events promptly. Moreover, the data gathered by the LEWIS Sonar will empower the tribal community of Ohkay Owingeh to take control of the current situation and make informed decisions for future flood prevention measures.
