<![CDATA[Monitoring and regulating water levels in oil palm swamps has an essential role in providing sufficient water for crops and conserving the land to not easily or quickly deteriorate. Presently, water level is still manual and has weaknesses, one of which is the accuracy of the data taken depending on the observer. Technology such as sensors integrated with artificial neural network is expected to observe and regulate water levels. This study aims to build a prediction model of water levels in oil palm plantations with artificial neural networks based on the rain gauge and ultrasonic sensors installed on Automatic Weather Station (AWS). The obtained results showed that the prediction model runs well with an R2 value of 0,994 and RMSE 1,16 cm. The water level prediction model in this research then tested for accuracy to prove the model's success rate. Testing the water level prediction model's accuracy in the dry season obtained an R2 value of 0,96 and an RMSE of 1,99 cm. Testing the water level prediction model's accuracy in the rainy season obtained an R2 value of 0,85 and an RMSE value of 4,2 cm.
