📄river_monitor.ino↗

My engineering thesis: a river level and flow monitoring system — ultrasonic and flow-meter sensors read by an Arduino, transmitting over a SIM800L GSM module to a Spring Boot API with a React dashboard. Built for early flood warnings to downstream communities and as a research dataset on river behavior.

// why: communities downstream deserve a warning before the river arrives
