It is therefore necessary that the sluice control system can be operated easily, or at least be able to cover aspects of water shortages on the door manually. In order to create a system that controls the floodgates computerized hydropower. Design method used in hydropower system control sluice using Microsoft Visual Studio-based microcontroller with a GSM shield Arduino is a prototype model. The design of the program on the Arduino microcontroller using the C programming language applications built using Visual Basic programming language and MySQL as database. Sluice control system in hydropower use Microsoft Visual Studio-based microcontroller with a GSM shield Arduino facilitate officers in controlling the floodgates. Application automatically records the time the doors open and close the water into a mySQL database. The design of the system helps workers to operate the sluice control more effective and efficient.} }
