Challenge
-
During the dry season, water levels in peatlands can drop drastically, leading to widespread fires that are difficult to control. Meanwhile, during the rainy season, the risk of flooding also increases if water levels in peatlands are not properly managed
-
The Groundwater Level (TMAT) Measuring Device serves as a tool to support policy decisions regarding natural resource management, environmental protection, and climate change mitigation. By utilizing data and information from the Groundwater Level (TMAT) Measuring Device, it is hoped that disaster response and peatland management in Indonesia can become more efficient, timely, and based on accurate data.





TMAT (Groundwater Level) Measurement Device
Definition
The TMAT (Groundwater Level) Meter is a real-time data monitoring device that automatically and accurately monitors groundwater levels, peat soil moisture, and rainfall data in real time.

Schematic TMAT (Groundwater Level) Measurement Device

Schematic of the Groundwater Level (GWL) Measuring Device
The Groundwater Level (GWL) Measuring Device consists of several main components, namely:
1. TMAT (Groundwater Level) Measurement Device Sensor
The sensor in the TMAT (Groundwater Level) Measurement Device continuously measures and monitors the groundwater level. The data generated by this sensor is transmitted in real time to the monitoring center.
2. Monitoring Center
Data collected from the sensors is processed and analyzed at the monitoring center. This monitoring center is typically managed by relevant institutions. Here, data is transformed into understandable information that can be used for decision-making purposes.
3. Early Warning and Alarms
Based on the monitored data, the TMAT (Groundwater Level) Measuring Device can provide early warnings and alarms to industries if the groundwater level in peatlands rises and approaches a danger level or a specific threshold.
