Sistem Informasi Online Monitoring Kualitas Air Sungai di Kabupaten Probolinggo

Summary

This video showcases the installation of an automated, continuous online water quality monitoring system at the Gending River, Probolinggo, under the Environmental Agency. The system includes a protective building housing various monitoring devices like multi-parameter sensors, automatic pumps, solar panels, and CCTV cameras. These sensors measure key water quality parameters such as pH, temperature, TDS, salinity, and turbidity. Data is transmitted in real-time to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The system also ensures reliable operation through regular checks and provides live video feeds of the river and equipment via computers or smartphones.

Takeaways

• 😀 The system monitors water quality online, continuously, and automatically at the Environmental Agency in Probolinggo, Indonesia.
• 😀 The monitoring location is the Gending River, where sensors are placed in protective structures to measure water quality.
• 😀 Key equipment includes automatic pumps, multi-parameter sensors like Aquatrol 500, spectrophotometers, data loggers, solar panels, modems, and CCTV.
• 😀 Water sampling is done automatically every hour using a pump system, which sucks in water through sensors placed in a pump tank.
• 😀 The system measures parameters such as pH, ORP, temperature, connectivity, TDS, salinity, DO, BOD, TSS, turbidity, nitrate, ammonium, and water depth.
• 😀 The pump intake pipe requires regular maintenance by operators to prevent blockages caused by debris or tree branches.
• 😀 Modems provide internet connectivity, allowing the data from Probolinggo to be transmitted to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry's central data center.
• 😀 Solar panels serve as backup power in case of electrical outages from the local grid (PLN).
• 😀 Two CCTV cameras are installed—one indoor to monitor the monitoring equipment and one outdoor to observe the Gending River.
• 😀 Real-time water quality data and river conditions can be monitored remotely on computers and smartphones, enabling quick responses if parameters exceed the standard quality thresholds.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the monitoring system described in the script?

The purpose of the system is to continuously monitor the water quality of the Gending River in Probolinggo using an online, automated method, ensuring real-time data collection and reporting to the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Where is the monitoring system located?

The monitoring system is located at the Environmental Agency (Dinas Lingkungan Hidup) in Kabupaten Probolinggo.

What types of sensors are used in the water quality monitoring system?

The system uses multi-parameter sensors like the Aquatrol 500 and Spectolizer, which measure various water quality parameters.

How does the water sampling process work?

Water is sampled using an automatic pump system, where sensors are placed in a pump basin that automatically draws water from the river every hour.

What kind of parameters are measured by the monitoring system?

The system measures several water quality parameters, including pH, ORP, temperature, connectivity, TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), salinity, DO (Dissolved Oxygen), BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solids), turbidity, nitrate, ammonium, and water depth.

What role does the modem play in the monitoring system?

The modem acts as a source of internet connectivity, enabling the data collected from the monitoring system to be transmitted to the central data center of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

Why is there a need for an operator to check the pump system?

An operator is needed to check the pump system regularly to ensure that foreign objects, like trash or branches, do not clog the intake pipe, which could hinder water flow.

How does the solar panel contribute to the monitoring system?

The solar panel serves as a backup power source for the system in case the primary electricity supply from PLN (the national grid) fails.

What is the function of the CCTV cameras in the system?

The CCTV cameras monitor both the equipment inside the protective building (indoor CCTV) and the condition of the Gending River (outdoor CCTV), allowing remote observation of the system and water conditions.

How can the data and video feed be accessed by relevant authorities?

The water quality data and CCTV video feed can be accessed in real time via computers or smartphones, allowing authorities to monitor the river's conditions and the performance of the monitoring system from anywhere.
