Development of visual dashboard for river monitoring system

Abstract

Monitoring a tributary's water depth and velocity can provide a wealth of information for ecological systems. Typically, tributaries are located deep within the jungle, and manual measurement is the norm. The research aims to develop a real-time remote monitoring system for measuring water depth and velocity. The system uses ultrasonic and water flow sensors to measure velocity and river depth. The data will be transmitted to the back-end software, including Arduino IDE and Node-RED, for data collection. The data is then stored in the cloud database InfluxDB for future use. The data can be set to be automatically deleted every 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, or at other time intervals. The Grafana platform can produce an interactive Graphical User Interface (GUI), and the administrator can modify the visual dashboard using either their program code or existing features. It can then be made available to the general public as an observer for the online visual dashboard via the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
