Electronic Application of Collaborative Rainfall Station as Rainfall Data Delivery Innovation

The Electronic Application of Collaborative Rainfall Station (Elektronik Pos Hujan Kerjasama/ E-PHK) is a mobile application (android and ios based application) that can be used by observers from the observation location to the Database Centre. E-PHK is an innovation electronic application for delivering rainfall data built by Centre for Database in 2020. With E-PHK, observers can input their data through the application and send directly to the Database Centre while still being monitored by the Provincial Data Coordinator Station. Around +/- 5000 collaborative rainfall station, until February 2022, there are 80% have sent their rainfall data through E-PHK. This is inseparable from the BMKG’s internal support, where 91.3% (69 employees of the Collaborative Provincial Climatological Observation Coordinator Station) agreed that observers should send their rainfall data through the E-PHK application. The support from 98.3% (2522 observers) observers who agreed that the E-PHK application could make sending rainfall data faster to the BMKG Centre, and 97.8% among them agreed that using the E-PHK application could increase observer productivity. These results underscore the effectiveness of E-PHK in improving the speed and efficiency of rainfall data delivery.
