Monitoring water levels of lakes, streams, rivers and other water basins is of essential importance and is a popular measurement for a number of different industries and organisations. Remote water level monitoring helps to provide an early warning feature by sending advance alerts when the water level is increased (reaches a certain threshold). The purpose of this report is to present an affordable solution for measuring water levels in water sources using IoT and LPWAN. The assembled system enables recording of water level fluctuations in real time and storing the collected data on a remote database through LoRaWAN for further processing and analysis.

ABSTRACTThe needs of flood disaster management encourage various efforts from all scientific disciplines of science, technology, and society. This article discusses the efforts to prevent flooding due to the habit of disposing of their waste into rivers through an innovative waste management system using the approach and application of Internet-based technology (IoT). Previous research has produced a prototype of the waste level monitoring system. In this research, the prototype was developed into a practical technology, called SiKaSiT (IoT Based Trash Capacity Monitoring System). This technology aims to assist janitor in monitoring, controlling and obtaining information about trash capacity and disposal time easily through an application on the smartphone in real-time and online. The system was made using a level detection sensor integrated with NodeMCU and Wi-Fi, MQTTbroker-protocol and Android-based application. Furthermore, the system was implemented in Bojongsoang adjacent to the Citarum river, where the water often overflowed due to the high rainfall and volume of trash around it. The results of system testing in the field shown good performance with value ranges of reliability is (99,785 - 99,944)% and availability is (99,786 - 99,945)%. SiKaSiT has several advantages over other similar systems. First, there is an application on the user's smartphone to monitor the capacity of trash and notification for full-bin. Second, the ability to operate on a small-bandwidth internet network because the throughput time is only around 0.59 kbps, thereby saving internet bandwidth consumption. This system has also helped overcome the problem of community trash management in Kampung Cijagra, where 60% of them gave feedback "agree" and the rest "strongly agree".Keywords: waste, IoT, monitoring, flooding, riverABSTRAKKebutuhan penanggulangan bencana banjir mendorong berbagai upaya dari semua disiplin ilmu baik dari bidang sains, teknologi dan sosial. Dalam artikel ini, penulis membahas upaya pencegahan banjir akibat kebiasaan membuang sampah ke sungai melalui inovasi sistem manajemen sampah menggunakan pendekatan dan penerapan teknologi berbasis Internet of Things (IoT). Pada riset sebelumnya telah dihasilkan sebuah prototype sistem monitoring level sampah. Kemudian pada riset ini prototype tersebut dikembangkan menjadi suatu teknologi tepat guna, dinamakan dengan SiKaSiT (Sistem Pemantauan Kapasitas Sampah Berbasis IoT). Teknologi ini bertujuan untuk membantu petugas kebersihan dalam memantau, mengontrol dan memperoleh informasi tentang kapasitas sampah dan waktu pembuangan sampah dengan mudah melalui aplikasi di smartphone secara real time dan online. Sistem dibuat dengan menggunakan sensor deteksi ketinggian sampah yang diintegrasikan dengan NodeMCU dan Wi-Fi, protokol MQTT broker dan aplikasi berbasis android pada smartphone. Selanjutnya sistem diimplementasikan di daerah Bojongsoang yang berdekatan dengan sungai Citarum yang airnya sering meluap akibat tingginya curah hujan dan volume sampah di sekitarnya. Hasil pengujian sistem di lapangan menunjukkan kinerja yang baik dengan kisaran nilai reliability adalah (99,785 – 99,944) % dan availability adalah (99,786 – 99,945) %. SiKaSiT memiliki beberapa kelebihan dibanding sistem serupa lainnya. Pertama, adanya aplikasi di smartphone pengguna untuk memonitor kapasitas sampah dan notifikasi saat tempat sampah penuh. Kedua, sistem mampu beroperasi pada jaringan internet bandwith kecil karena waktu throughput-nya hanya sekitar 0,59 kbps sehingga menghemat konsumsi bandwith internet. Sistem ini juga telah membantu menanggulangi permasalahan pengelolaan sampah masyarakat Kampung Cijagra, dimana 60% masyarakat memberi feedback “setuju” dan sisanya “sangat setuju”.Kata kunci: Sampah, IoT, Monitoring, Banjir, Sungai

In this work, a simple but versatile sensing system for very accurate sensing of liquid level and liquid density is presented. The sensor works based on basic strain sensitivity of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and principle of liquid obeying Archimedes’ law of buoyancy. In this system, a cylindrical shaped mass suspended from a Fiber Bragg Grating and partially immersed in the liquid to be sensed. If the liquid level in the container or liquid density varies, that change the up thrust on the suspended mass and load on the Fiber will be changed accordingly. The change in the load on Fiber changes strain on the FBG and the reflected Bragg wavelength also changes. The proposed device with proper calibration should be able to carry out real time and nonstop liquid level and liquid density measurements. A mathematical analysis of the system considering liquid properties and geometrical structure of the suspended mass is presented here. Sensitivity of the system for liquid level monitoring is also reported. Achieved results shows the path for the utilization of the proposed sensor system for precise liquid density measurement and liquid level sensing in very large storage tanks used for commercial/residential applications.
