Abstract
When the rainy season arrives, flooding is a common phenomenon. Almost every street, housing, village, river, even in the city center, wherever floods can occur. One effort to prevent the flooding is to create a floodgate on reservoirs or dams that are used to control the water distribution. The water level at this dam must be checked frequently to anticipate if the water level is at a dangerous level. The inspection of water levels will be very difficult if it must be conducted by humans who must be available in the field at any time. This research aims to create a prototype system that can replace the human role in monitoring the dam water level condition at any time by developing an integrated system between hardware and software using IoT (Internet of Things) technology approach and social media (twitter and telegram). The developed system consists of the height sensor (distance), microcontroller and wifi module, which is placed on the water gate. This system serves to measure the water level at any time and send data in real time to the server. The results of system testing performed shows that when the system is in normal circumstances, the system sends data to the server every minute, and updates the status of water level in twitter every 5 minutes. In case the water level has exceeded a predetermined limit, the system sends data to the server every 5 seconds and passes the warning message to all registered telegram contacts.
Highlights
Flooding is a phenomenon that occurs when the water that flows exceeds its flow capacity, floods can occur anywhere either in the river, road, housing, even downtown as well as this problem
This study aims to create a prototype system that can replace the human role in monitoring of the dam water level conditions at all times by developing an integrated system of hardware and software using the Internet Of Things (IoT) (Internet of Things) technology approach and social media
After the data has been saved to the server, build the application software which consists of 2 parts, Telegram Bot and Twitter API
Summary
Flooding is a phenomenon that occurs when the water that flows exceeds its flow capacity, floods can occur anywhere either in the river, road, housing, even downtown as well as this problem. When overflow of large volumes of water occurs for a long time and often this can disrupt the activities of the people living in the area. This is a problem, this flood disaster is disrupt the activities of the people, even the effects further impact to social and economic development, even dangerous of human life [1]. The system is accessed by peoples using common messaging media such as telegram and social media such as twitter This system is accessible both of peoples that directly affected by floods and the relevant government as a decision maker
