Abstract

The parameters used to monitor and determine river water quality are divided into physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. Specific on chemical parameters, especially dissolved metals, there is also Methyl Mercury / Hg, which is very dangerous. Even water that is exposed to mercury cannot be purified in any way. Research on water quality by the Jambi Regional Environment Agency at 16 points found that the Batanghari river category is now heavily polluted (Class D), allegedly due to wastewater from Gold Mining Without Permits (PETI). The need for raw water for residents throughout the Batanghari River area is urgent always to maintain its quality. To find out the development of water quality, especially in the dissolved metal content, which is dangerous and is the primary pollutant of illegal gold mining activities such as Methyl Mercury / Hg, effective and efficient technology is needed so that it is expected to be able to read the level in real-time. Contamination of water. The purpose of monitoring water quality is to match whether the quality of water monitoring results is following the standard of use/consumption. The internet of things technology is applied using a raspberry pi with several sensors, including a pH sensor, water electrolyzer, and colour sensor, as well as a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) analogue gravity sensor, as well as a mobile web-based application that is used to monitor real-time data. The mercury contamination monitoring tool will produce data output in a summary of the mercury contamination category, pH, and water turbidity level. Then the output generated in real-time is sent via the Module Shield SIM800L GSM component to the server and can be monitored through the Methyl Mercury Contamination Monitoring Application.
