Information about the arrival of floods in rivers must be informed as soon as possible to the community so that it can save people along the river and its surroundings from the dangers of flooding which are very detrimental. Arduino Nano and Microcontroller ESP8266 provide good performance in providing information about the arrival of floods quickly. The working system of the tool is based on a water level sensor installed in the upstream area of the river which will be received and processed by Arduino nano, then the sensor data is communicated to the ESP8266 device (as a wifi node). Furthermore, ESP8266 will send information to the Android application. This system is very cost-effective and has low power consumption. Flood information will be sent to people along the river that flows through the city and residential areas. The test results show that the current system is functioning well, and is useful for flood monitoring systems in rivers.
