Resumen

This research shows that the negative consequences of a natural disaster can be avoided. In this case we refer to the overflow of a river caused by a Huayco. The negative effects of this disaster manifest each year in different regions of Peru. For this reason, we present the design of an alert system for the approach of landslides and river overflows in high-risk populations. The investigation is made up of four fundamental parts; the first is the development of a river overflow sensor; the second is a system that transforms the signal emitted by the sensor into an audible alarm; the third is the design of a concrete infrastructure to locate the sensor outputs and finally, a system that transports energy to feed the circuits used and the electrical signal of the sensor. Likewise, calculations were made to be able to determine and take advantage of the use of transistors in the river overflow sensor to arrive at a correct commutation of this device and thus be able to be used as a water level sensor.
