THE USE OF IOT IN WATER UTILIZATION STRATEGIES FOR SMART IRRIGATION SYSTEMS BASED ON MACHINE LEARNING

Junaidi, Junaidi
Abstract: Abstract: Water irrigation is a crucial aspect of agriculture that often becomes the primary concern for farmers, especially because suboptimal management can lead to decreased crop yields and reduced income. So far, farmers… mers have been practicing irrigation manually, where plants are watered twice a day, in the morning and evening, based on weather conditions without considering soil temperature or moisture levels. Based on the observations conducted, it was found that excessive water application increases water accumulation, resulting in nutrient loss from the soil and even root diseases. The objective of this study is to develop a system utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller and sensors to detect soil moisture, with a machine learning-based K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) model, enabling farmers to remotely monitor and control their crops using an Android device. The testing results showed that with input data of 32°C temperature, 40% soil moisture, and 60% air humidity, the system produced a nearest distance of 0.000 and 0.541 from the closest k-nearest neighbors, with a status label of "needs water." As a result, the relay activates the water pump to irrigate the field. Meanwhile, for data with a nearest distance of 0.897, the system identified the status as "does not need water," indicating that the soil remains wet or moist. This study is expected to help reduce farmers' workloads by optimizing water usage according to plant needs and improving crop quality and yield.         Keywords: k-nearest neighbor (KNN); mikrokontroller ESP32; machine learning; water irrigation   Abstrak: Irigasi air merupakan aspek penting dalam pertanian yang menjadi perhatian utama petani, terutama karena pengelolaan yang kurang optimal berdampak pada penurunan hasil panen dan pendapatan. Selama ini, praktik irigasi oleh petani dilakukan secara manual, di mana penyiraman tanaman dilakukan dua kali sehari pada pagi dan sore berdasarkan kondisi cuaca tanpa memperhatikan suhu atau kelembaban tanah. Berdasarkan hasil observasi yang dilakukan, ditemukan masalah yaitu pemberian air secara berlebih menyebabkan akumulasi air meningkat mengakibatkan kehilangan nutrisi tanah dan bahkan penyakit akar. Tujuan penelitian ini menciptakan sistem yang dirancang menggunakan mikrokontroler ESP32 dan sensor untuk mendeteksi kelembaban tanah, dengan model K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) berbasis machine learning sehingga memudahkan petani untuk mengontrol tanaman mereka dari jarak jauh menggunakan android. Hasil pengujian yang dilakukan dengan data inputan berupa suhu 32°C, kelembaban tanah 40% dan kelembaban udara 60%, sistem menghasilkan jarak terdekat sebesar 0.000 dan 0.541 dari k-nearest terdekat dengan label status "butuh air". Maka relay akan mengaktifkan pompa air untuk mengairi lahan. Kemudian, pada data dengan jarak terdekat 0.897, sistem mengidentifikasi status "tidak butuh air", menunjukkan bahwa kondisi tanah masih basah atau lembab. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat membantu meringankan beban kerja petani mengoptimalkan penggunaan air sesuai dengan kebutuhan tanaman dan meningkatkan kualitas hasil panen.

Budiman
Abstract: Factors that cause airlines to cancel flights include commercial, technical, operational, weather, and airport factors. Airlines are responsible for canceling departures due to health care requirements (accelerated testing):… ng): if a passenger tests positive for antigen, they must undergo a PCR test; if negative, they can continue, and the price of the ticket is returned to fly back at least 3 days later. If the passenger gets a PCR test, they must quarantine for 14 days, rescheduling the ticket according to the passenger's status after quarantine. Or the entire ticket will be refunded. There are no specific provisions for consumer legal protection for departure cancellations due to failure to complete health care (accelerated testing), but compliance is not limited to Law Number 1 of 2009 concerning Aviation is not achieved. However, passengers as consumers have legal protection under the Consumer Protection Law relating to passenger rights as consumers of air transportation services, and the Civil Code relating to the status of passengers as parties to a transportation contract with airlines.

Analysis of Extreme Weather Causes of Flooding in Manado North Sulawesi

Ni Luh Made Anik Evaria, Rafa Zafirah Istiqomah
Abstract: On January 27 and 28 2023, Manado City was hit by heavy rain which caused several areas to experience significant flooding. The high intensity of rain during that period reached extreme levels, resulting in the inundation… n of several areas and submerging hundreds of residents' houses in 22 villages or sub-districts and 7 sub-districts in Manado. In studying this event, this research investigates the factors that influence extreme weather in Manado, observing sea surface temperature data, streamlines, air observations, the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). The analysis shows that the positive SOI and negative IOD phenomena significantly impact extreme weather in the region. Cumulonimbus (Cb) clouds drove the atmospheric conditions formed on January 27 and 28 2023 and air flows from the Indian Ocean which brought wet air masses into Indonesian territory. High sea surface temperatures, reaching 28-29°C, also play a role in the intensive growth of rain clouds. Based on atmospheric conditions seen from radiosonde observation data, the stability index value shows that unstable conditions trigger heavy rain which causes flooding
