Nature Monitoring Device

Natural disasters in the 21st century is a result of the pollution that creates a chain effect from human activities that are damaging the earth and ecosystem. As an example, deforestation can cause soil erosion and critical flash floods which later would increase the chance of landslides to occur and flow into the river and killed the underwater ecosystem. The objective of this project is to create a device that works as an indicator for early signs towards natural disasters, this device can be used in preventing catastrophic natural disasters from happening in the future, and help the United Nations in fulfilling their Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) number 14 Life Below Water and 15 Life On Land. This smart project is powered by micro: bit, a small computer that can easily be programmed. The micro: bit has a built-in thermometer, tremor sensor and buzzer. It is also equipped with manufactured by ELECFREAKS the additional sensors consist of elements such as Soil Moisture Sensor and Water Level sensor and the IoT:bit. The IoT:bit is an attachment board that is used to allow microbit to connect to ThingSpeak. By using these sensors, it can detect real-time and accurate information of the data. This project also applies the IoT technology by using the IoT:bit. This device is also equipped with an OLED screen that would display the real-time information of the data. Furthermore, this device can work as an early warning system by program it to set off an alarm if the data elements condition or levels goes exceeding beyond or below the limit setup. As an example if the micro:bit detects water level going more than the level that it should, it could be a sign of floods in the area. In conclusion this device can be used to detect the ambient temperature, soil moisture, tremor activities and water level in an area. Thus, not only it can work as an early warning system but also can be used to monitor the nature’s condition
