Ocean and river monitoring buoy system for safety alert / Arman Hamizan Azram

The "Ocean and River Monitoring Buoy System for Safety Alert" project is designed to address critical challenges in environmental monitoring, particularly in aquatic ecosystems. Recognizing the natural occurrence of flooding, the project seeks to mitigate the associated risks to life and property by proposing a cost-effective, robust, and accessible buoy system. The existing buoys in the market are often large, heavy, and expensive, limiting their mobility and accessibility. Moreover, private sectors predominantly own these buoys, restricting public access to crucial data. This report advocates for a more accessible buoy system, suggesting the use of a gravity water pressure sensor instead of the traditional and complex ultrasonic sensor. The proposed system aims to provide a cheaper alternative that can be owned and accessed by the public, incorporating a microcontroller and Internet of Things (IoT) for improved data sharing and alert systems. This project envisions contributing to timely and widespread dissemination of water level data, offering a potential solution to the challenges posed by conventional monitoring systems
