ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Alhamdulillah and thanks to Allah Almighty for letting me finished my subject
of BITU3973 – Projek Sarjana Muda in this final year in UTeM which had started on 23
February 2015 to 4 September 2015. First of all I would like to thank my helpful
Supervisor, Dr Fahmi Arif for his well teaching, guidance, and advice throughout this
project. Dr Fahmi has helped me in the completion of my Projek Sarjana Muda System.
He helped me solved all the problems that I had and also suggested all the brilliant ideas
for making the system complete. I am very grateful to have him as my supervisor. I
would also like to thank my father, mother and other families for their endless support in
my studies all these years. They kept constantly reminded me to do my best for this
Projek Sarjana Muda subject.
I would also like to thank all my friends especially those who work together to
build this system and also all my classmates for their wise ideas throughout this project.
Thanks to all my friends who had been very supportive during the hardships. Thanks to
the outsiders or anyone too, who had involved either directly or indirectly in developing
this SMS BASED EARLY FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM USING RASPBERRY PI.
This whole program had really brought us together and made us appreciate the true
value of friendships as well as to respect each other.

ABSTRACT

Floods are the most damaging natural disaster in this world. When it
happened, it can destroy the community and killed many lives. The government
would end up spending billions of dollars to recover the affected area. It is
crucial to develop a flood control system as a mechanism to reduce the flood
risk. Getting a quick feedback regarding the rise of the water level would help
the surrounding area to take early pre-caution such as move away quickly to a
safer and higher place. Thus, this project is about designing a system that can
measure the speed of the rise of the water level at the potential flooded area.
Waterfall model is used as the methodology in this project. The water sensor,
Raspberry Pi and GSM module are the hardware used in the system. Raspberry
Pi is used to collect the data from the water sensor and transmit the data to GSM
Module to send the alert by using an SMS via a mobile phone. The analysis will
be done to show how the Raspberry Pi will be integrated with the smartphone to
give an alert. The system will be tested in order to ensure that all specifications
needed have been met. A performance test will also be ran in order to see the
efficiency of the system.
