<![CDATA[River water quality is critical for sustaining life, necessitating advanced monitoring technologies. This study presents a novel IoT-based water monitoring system using the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi and the MQTT protocol, offering significant improvements in real-time data acquisition, reliability, and accessibility. Unlike conventional systems, this approach uniquely integrates advanced microcontroller capabilities and efficient data transmission to address limitations in accuracy and usability in water quality monitoring. The system measures key indicators, including pH, temperature, total dissolved solids (TDS), and turbidity, and provides real-time updates via a solar-powered web interface. Using an exploratory sequential design, the study developed, calibrated, and tested the system, achieving high accuracy with relative errors of 2.50% for pH, 4.15% for temperature, 4.73% for TDS, and 3.08% for turbidity. Feedback from 59 residents near the Citarum River underscores the system's effectiveness and societal relevance, highlighting its potential to enhance public health, support sustainable environmental management, and set a new standard in water monitoring technology.]]>
