The current river’s condition in Indonesia has decreased in water quality, especially in big cities. The rivers have been polluted by domestic and non-domestic waste. Therefore, the Government has to monitor rivers water quality periodically to see its condition of the rivers water quality. Utilization of the information technology in river quality monitoring is one of the less resources consumption. This study aims to investigate the development of information technology in big cities in order to support to monitoring river water quality. This study is carried out with literature and references reviews as well as expert interviews. The results showed that the information technology has not yet been applied to monitor rivers in Indonesia. Several efforts have been started, but the systems are still incomplete. Although smart water program has been adopted in Indonesia, it shows problem in its sustainability due to financial difficulty, devices durability, and connection instability. To overcome these obstacles, it is recommended that government should have strong inter-collaboration between divisions and partnership with other institutions.
