Abstract

Flood is defined as the inundation of a place due to overflowing of water which exceeds the
disposal capacity of water in an area and causes physical, social and economic losses. Flood is a
seasonal threat that occurs when water bodies overflow from existing channels and inundate the
surrounding area. Flood is a natural threat that occurs most frequently and is the most detrimental
to both humanity and economics.
Flood disaster is one focus of attention, because it still causes a lot of losses and casualties.
Floods can occur due to overflowing of water, therefore we need a monitoring system and early
warning of flood disasters.
This study aims to monitor the water level in the reservoir in real-time as early information
on the occurrence of floods. This monitoring uses the Internet of things (IoT) technology approach
so that level information can be known in real-time.
The water level sensor with the HC-SR04 sensor is used as a data reader and the ESP8266
MCU node as a processor and sends data wirelessly to an website via an application.
The result of this research is a water level detection system that can inform the level of safety,
alertness, alertness and can provide real-time information via a smartphone. Thus this monitoring
system can be used to obtain water level information and can avoid flooding.
