Implementation of the Internet of Things for Flood Mitigation and Environmental Sustainability

One of the components that support the smart city program is the existence of a smart environment. A smart environment is a form of environmental management by paying attention to the environment in future city development. The current problem is that smart cities in Indonesia are not optimal, especially regarding flood mitigation handling sources from rivers and river water quality. Floods in urban areas often cause material losses and cause fatalities, especially with the increasing significance of the impact of climate change, which is difficult to predict. Thus, there is a need for sustainable Internet of Things (IoT)-based river monitoring to monitor river water levels and quality. This research aims to apply the Internet of Things for flood mitigation and environmental sustainability. The architecture used is using Antares as a cloud media. The results obtained by monitoring the river showed that the influence of the provider in sending sensor data is influenced by the availability of network service facilities in locations. In addition, the fastest data transmission lasts five seconds. At the same time, the suitability of data transmission occurs in under two minutes.
