Abstract

The quality of water in a body of water has a very important role to support the survival of the organisms that live in it. Important indicators of seawater quality are seawater temperature and pH. Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecular movement that has an important factor in regulating the life process and the spread of organisms. Variations in pH values can cause changes and imbalances in CO2 levels that can endanger marine life. The purpose of this research is to create a microcontroller-based seawater temperature and pH measuring device using a DS18B20 temperature sensor and a 4502C pH sensor. The results of the design of a microcontroller-based seawater temperature and pH measuring device can detect water quality by knowing the temperature and pH parameters that are able to work in real time with an average accuracy rate of 99% when compared to existing measuring instruments.
