Abstract

River hydrometric surveys with Internet of Things (IoT) technology can be conducted using water level sensors equipped with LoRa communication capabilities. The sensors are placed in strategic locations along the river and measure the water level periodically. The data is then transmitted using LoRa technology to a central station or gateway located on land. The central station collects and processes data from all sensors, providing real-time water level readings for the entire river area. This data can be used for various purposes, including flood monitoring, navigation, and water management. The utilisation of this technology can be an alternative to conventional hydrometric activities. In this research, a prototype water level and river discharge monitoring system with IoT has been built. The method approach is experimental. In addition, system and integrity testing shows the success of nodes sending data packets and the gateway is able to receive data packets from nodes. Meanwhile, the implementation of monitoring where ThingSpeak as a server can display graphs in real time measurements made by the node. The system monitoring results show that the average water level of Lambidaro River reaches 121 cm (min) and 125 cm (max). Meanwhile, the water discharge of Lambidaro River reached 0.8 m3/s (min) and 1.3 m3/s (max). Measurement of both variables took place within a period of 3.5 h.
