Design of automatic water level control system using fuzzy logic

Abstract

With less rainwater that is absorbed into the ground, and the obstruction of water flow causes flooding. The floodgates on river dams are still using manual systems by utilizing human operators, in this case sometimes mistakes occur in decision making. The solution to this problem is to create an automatic sluice system, so that when the condition of the water discharge at the intake is excessive or insufficient, the sluice can open and close pursuant to the required automation of water flow. Measurement of water discharge using a water flow sensor, the results of the sensor readings will be forwarded to the actuator as a door actuator. In this study, the design of the floodgate control system on the dam was carried out through the fuzzy logic technique. The water level and flow sensor data are processed by fuzzy logic technique to control the opening of the floodgates and the condition of the weir. The benefit of this system is easy to monitor and control the floodgates on the weir, with proper control and supervision it will make the water flow evenly distributed, as well as provide early warning information to anticipate when river water overflows and has the potential to flood.

IoT-based Smartfarm Technology for Rice Farming

“…The application of ICTs in agriculture has been carried out by many agricultural countries such as Ghana [5], Nigeria [6], and Indonesia [7] under the National Agricultural Research System [8]. The application of ICTs in these countries contributes to the agricultural productivity increase which has an impact on increasing farmers' income [11][12][13][14]. In this study, the smart technology used is not merely ICTs because it is supported by automatic follow-up of the information obtained.…”
