Abstract

During this of globalization, floods are the major disaster that are always occurs in the country, Malaysia. The country is affected by heavy rainfall largely during the end of the year which are the typical for seasonal monsoon floods. Flood disasters such as flash floods and tidal floods that occurs mostly on houses or residential that are close to the seaside and rivers can be devastating to those who choose to live there. The damage done to the property and even innocent lives that are loss to this natural disaster occurred every year can be potentially avoided with a system. The system that can signal if the water around the residential area is rising rapidly and have a blockade for the flood water to enter the residential place. With that, no to minimal damage will be done to the places. This system could also be used in industrial places with using the same concept, albeit in much bigger scale compared to residential area system. The expected outcome of this system is to have minimal property damages done to homes and safety to resident from floods. An Ultrasonic sensor is chosen in this project because of having high sensing distance while having no moving parts thus making it more reliable compared to other alternative water sensors. This system is main equipped with Arduino UNO connected to water sensors to track water level on simulated water drainage. When specified water level is reach, it will trigger the water gate system. The data from water sensors is also connected to NodeMCU ESP8266. The user will be able to do monitoring for the water level by using the mobile application. This project is aimed at developing and design flood monitoring systems with an automation for water gate, with addition of able to monitor in real-time using mobile phone application through IoT platforms. The project is presented in a small-scale concept of residential houses, simulated water drainage and functioning prototype of the system. This project is suitable for residential and industrial area for safety measure against flood disaster. IoT functionality are efficient for monitoring area from afar. For future works, the system can be implemented and tested in real world residential house and add a reliable uninterrupted power source such as solar powered battery.
