Abstract

In this research, water level measurements are intended to give early flood warning when the water level reaches a certain height. Water level measurement system performed using an ultrasonic sensor which was placed horizontally inside a PVC pipe, facing the water surface. One of the focuses of this research is the selection of the ultrasonic which can be used to perform accurate calculations in PVC pipe. The magnitude of measurement error by ultrasonic sensor inside PVC pipe is equal to 3.7%. The minimum diameter of pipe that can be used is influenced by the magnitude of the ultrasonic measuring angle. Result of water level measurement is managed by a micro-controller and will be sent to the admin number which has been registered into the system. The system will automatically send a warning SMS when the water reaches certain height, which can be divided into three phases: flood-prone level, flood level, and safe level. This research also focused on setting via SMS to register the admin number, three water level setting, and request on water level. Overall systems are powered by solar cell 20 WP.
