Indonesia needs to improve its irrigation system by implementing respectable technology. Recently, Indonesian irrigation systems have intended to switch from analog to digital technology. However, it appeared that Indonesia was having some issues applying digital technology in many areas. For instance, delivering water from water sources to irrigation subversives requires a computer infrastructure. A manual water level monitoring tool has been used in irrigation canals to gauge the water level that flows through them. The major goal of this project is to design a digital measuring device for water level and water temperature in the irrigation channel. The appropriate information must be entered into the irrigation channels. An experimental investigation has been conducted into the accuracy of digital instrument design for detecting water level and water temperature in irrigation channels. The creation of the digital water level measurement design will be tested against manual measurement to determine the percentage difference. The percentage difference between the traditional water level measurement and the digital water level measurement is the anticipated outcome. It is possible to infer that it is crucial to use digital tools, especially when determining the water level in irrigation channels.
