Design of an Android-Based Dam Flood and Drought Early Warning Information System (SI BANKER) in West Nusa Tenggara

Abstract

Dam construction in Indonesia is currently very developed, namely 235 dams that have been built and West Nusa Tenggara Province contributes 30% of the number of dams in Indonesia, namely 70 dams spread across the islands of Lombok and Sumbawa, where 32 dams are in the Lombok River Basin and 38 dams in the Sumbawa River Basin. The current problem for the Europeanization and maintenance of existing dams in West Nusa Tenggara province is that there is no information system that can make it easier for officers at each dam to report the latest condition of the water level of each dam and provide early warning of the condition of the dam's water level whether it will be close to flood or dry conditions. Currently, to report water level conditions in each dam, officials at each dam can only report the results of water level monitoring under normal circumstances, floods or droughts only manually. The purpose of this study is to provide early warning information / notifications on flood and drought conditions in dams in West Nusa Tenggara province based on android. The research method used in the process of developing this system is the waterfall development method which consists of 5 stages, namely defining needs, designing, coding and implementation, testing and documentation. The results of this study are in accordance with the description in the previous chapter including interface implementation, system testing and evaluating the system. Evaluation is carried out to determine the shortcomings of the system, so that it can be better for future development. The conclusion of this study from the design and testing that has been carried out shows that all functions have run in accordance with the proposed system. For further research, it is recommended to create a similar Android mobile application but using a more complete framework and having many references to perfect some features in the application that are still not perfect.
