Abstract
 The Karanggeneng River in Rembang Regency, Central Java, serves as the main water source for the surrounding community but is vulnerable to seawater contamination during the dry season due to decreasing river elevation. To address this issue, this study aims to design and implement a river water elevation monitoring device based on the Internet of Things (IoT) powered by a hybrid Solar Power Plant (PLTS). The device utilizes the MB7360 ultrasonic sensor connected to an ESP32 microcontroller to measure water elevation in real-time and display the data through an LCD and the Blynk application on a smartphone. The methodology includes literature review, device design, system implementation, and field performance testing. Test results show that the sensor can measure water height accurately within a range of 30 cm to 5 meters, and the PLTS system is capable of supplying the required 0.56 Watts of power. The study compared two alternative solutions and selected the ESP32-based system as the best option due to its efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and easy-to-source components. The conclusion of this research indicates that the developed device can provide accurate and continuous information, support monitoring of river conditions to prevent the risk of seawater intrusion, flooding, or drought, and has the potential to be applied as a mobile system in various other river locations across Indonesia.
