Water Quality Monitoring and Control System for Fish Farmers Based on Internet of Things

Numerous individuals in Riau Province are engaged in the fish cultivation due to the province's ample water supply and the substantial market demand, which generates relatively high selling prices.The significance of water quality issues in fish aquaculture stems from the fact that fish inhabit water.Water quality is determined by a number of parameters, including acidity, temperature, turbidity, and the quantity of dissolved substances.Therefore, this study aimed to develop a device capable of monitoring water quality.The water parameters observed through the utilization of sensors and the Internet of Things were temperature, acidity, dissolved solids concentration, and turbidity.Utilizing the Rapid Application Development (RAD) Method, the research was completed through the following phases: Analysis, design, development, evaluation, implementation, and simulation.A device comprised of electronic components, including a microcontroller and sensors, was the result of this research.Monitoring parameter data was collected in real time via sensors and subsequently stored on a cloud server.The tools developed as a consequence of this research enable fish producers to acquire parameter data in real time.These tools serve the purpose of generating responses to normalize water quality and to facilitate action in response to changes in water quality.
