Abstract

Flood Rapid Monitoring and Warning System (FloWMS) is a portable and cost-effective system designed to be applied in areas potentially affected by floods. The objective of this project is to assist the authorities in monitoring river water levels at specific locations and serve as a warning system to notify people of dangerous water level situations. The system comprises of an ultrasonic sensor used to measure the differences between the initial water level and the current water level. It also includes three float sensors that provide information on three water levels, corresponding to three warning messages: ALERT, BEWARE, DANGER. The uniqueness of the system is the incorporation of a flow rate sensor, which can measure the velocity of the water flow. To deliver warnings, the system utilizes the Short Message System (SMS) through a GSM SIM900A module. The product is equipped with LEDs that indicate the status of water level, as well as a water level alarm buzzer that informs people of the dangerous water levels. The proposed system aims to rapidly monitor abnormal changes in water levels and flow, enabling early detection of potential floods. The system demonstrated effective real-time data collection, analysis and warning messages, highlighting its effectiveness as an emergency flood monitoring and warning system.
