What do you get?
Mertani Automatic Water level Recorder (AWLR)
​
​Mertani Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR) will assist you in monitoring water levels, both groundwater levels (TMAT) and channel water levels (TMAS). For plantation stakeholders and policymakers responsible for maintaining peatlands, river basins, dams, and groundwater level monitoring, data collection can be simplified with automatic data acquisition.
Choose the type of AWLR device that suits your needs, from sensor types and accessories to additional advanced features like CCTV.
Challenge
-
The rise in sea levels due to climate change increases the risk of flooding in coastal areas and small islands by causing sea water inundation and increasing extreme rainfall. This threatens infrastructure and human settlements. There is a need for mitigation, adaptation, and wise spatial planning to protect communities and the environment from the adverse impacts of floods.
-
High-level water monitoring technologies such as manual gauges and tide gauge stations have limitations in accuracy, range, and real-time capability, thus requiring the development of more advanced technology to monitor water levels in real-time and accurately.

Study Case
Installation of AWLR for River Water Level Fluctuation Monitoring together with the Public Works and Housing Department (PUPR) of Kediri City, East Java.
​
​In March 2024, the Mertani team implemented the Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR) installation project in Kediri City, East Java. In this project, they successfully installed 6 units of AWLR at five strategic locations along the river that crosses the city. The main objective of installing AWLR is to enhance the quality of river water level fluctuation monitoring efficiently and effectively. Therefore, it is expected that the generated data will provide more accurate and up-to-date information about the river conditions, as well as support better water resource management in the area.

Study Case
Installation of Automatic Water Level Recorder for Palm Oil Plantation Management in Jambi
​​
In January 2025, Mertani installed an Automatic Water Level Recorder (AWLR) in an oil palm plantation in Jambi. In this project, we installed 3 units of AWLR. The purpose of the installation was to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of monitoring groundwater levels in the plantation. By monitoring water level fluctuations in real-time, it is expected to help in making better decisions regarding water management in the oil palm plantation. This is a proactive step from Mertani in supporting sustainable and efficient agricultural practices in the region.
