AB  - The usage of sensors to monitor water quality at Lake Chini started in 2010. Its purpose is to
facilitate authorities in controlling the source of pollution and indirectly monitor and enforce the rules set out
under the water enactment act. Water quality Index is used to measure cleanliness and the quality of water to
sustain the rich and diverse biodiversity of flora and fauna. The telemetry system in operation since 2010 is
adequate for such purpose. However, the rampant logging, mining and plantation activities in the last 5 years
discharged waste such as sediment, fertilizer and toxic into the lake and threaten the lake biodiversity. The
sensors operated within a polluted environment. The big flood of 2014/2015 further decimated all telemetry
stations and rendered them inoperable. We are faced with the challenge of rebuilding the collapsed
infrastructure and resuming the measurement of water quality parameters. The new telemetry system
incorporated two new features to ensure accessibility: A dashboard and early warning system and moving data
and application into the cloud. A smartphone app was developed to facilitate the acquire readings from sensor
and facilitate the sharing of these data.
