Design of flood detection system based on velocity and water level sensor in Arduino with SWOD application on Kalimati-Kretek Gantung DAM Banyuwangi

Abstract

As a tropical country Indonesia has the potential to experience rain in several periods due to global warming of the weather becomes erratic resulting in extreme weather. With high rainfall intensity, as well as lack of absorption land can result in water volume in a dam can exceed capacity and overflow. During this observation process of increasing the volume of water using conventional method is considered less effective when viewed in terms of operational by the operator must come directly to the field at a certain period. If the condition of the water volume increases suddenly and the officer is not located then it will cause flood disaster therefore required a proper technology so as to overcome the problem. SWOD (Safety Water Overflow Detection) is an application that integrates with web server and sensor device as data taker able to provide real time volume and water speed information from dams through mobile device and comes with warning when reaching emergency condition.
