Abstract The waterwheel is a component of the spinning water that energizes the rotating axis. Waterwheel is a means to convert water energy into mechanical energy in the form of torque on the shaft of the mill. One of the functions of water is to improve water quality. But the use of waterwheels manually is inefficient, because the mill works continuously even though the water quality is good. So it takes intelligent algorithm to be able to produce waterwheels that can benefit the local community for the needs of high protein foods. By adjusting some variables in determining water quality to improve the water quality of shrimp habitat, consisting of: water pH, water temperature, disoolved oxygen and salinity. And in uncertainty input from existing parameters can form a probability distribution that determines water quality and the movement of the mill. The sensor reading results into a reference microcontroller in sending PWM signals on the boost converter as DC motor drivers to run waterwheels slowly or quickly based on inputs. And with the Internet of Things (IoT) technology will make it easier to control, more practical, effective and efficient.
