What are online stores where I can buy submersible hydrostatic pressure sensors?

*title* Planning to make a water level monitoring device using one of these. Don't know where to buy though, I'm from SEA.

PIEZUS.com is one I saw, and while I haven't checked it yet, I reckon RS components might be selling these. What else is there? Thank you

Is arduino sufficient/strong enough for an outdoor water level sensor meant to measure the level of a river?

So for context, my friend and I are fresh grads trying to help our local community by doing a simple level sensor for one of the rivers. I believe these are the only necessary components bar the power supply and chassis?

Arduino or something like arduino but better
Submersible Hydrostatic Pressure Sensors
Siren/Alarm
LED Industrial

Arduino was the first thing that came to mind because well, it's the only thing I have experience with. I was also thinking raspberry pi but it seems too much for a project that can probably be done with a microcontroller like arduino, I don't think a minicomputer is all that necessary. But at the same time, I think an arduino is far too weak for this. I mean, I have this bias that it's used mainly in diy basic stuff, certainly not for something of a pretty large scale like this that requires lasting materials.

Thank you!
