Wireless and Real Time Monitoring System for Muara Lembu Kuantan Singingi River Water Quality

Abstract

Environmental pollution caused by the liquid disposal of palm oil mill can cause an imbalance to the ecosystem. Not only for plants and animals, but the effect of this pollution causes health problems for the surrounding community. This community service was carried out in Sungai Bawang Village to be precise at the Muara Lembu river. To monitor water quality, the authors designed a wireless and real time based monitoring system. Parameters in the form of turbidity and pH are priority observations for this activity. The reading of the two sensors is displayed on an information board built in front of the village office, to make it easier for officials and the surrounding community to monitor the quality of river water. From the results of the observations, river water is acidic because it contains a pH ranging from 5.4 to 5.9, while the turbidity level is at a moderate stage with a value between 125 - 205 NTU.
