National Land and Geological Disaster Monitoring and Early Warning System Plan

Background Introduction

Geological hazards are caused by both natural and anthropogenic factors, resulting in losses of human life and property as well as environmental damage. They primarily include landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, and ground fissures. Once a geological hazard occurs, it often affects a wide area, posing a severe threat to the safety of people’s lives and property.
In recent years, landslides, rockfalls, and debris flows have been the primary focus of research in the field. To enhance public awareness of disaster prevention and mitigation, reduce casualties, safeguard social stability and the normal order of production and daily life, improve the quality of life for the population, promote the comprehensive development of economic construction and all social undertakings in areas severely affected by geological hazards, and ensure that people can live and work in peace and contentment, it has become an urgent priority to strengthen early warning and forecasting for geological hazards.

Solution Overview

The geological hazard monitoring system integrates multiple types of monitoring sensors, including GNSS, crack sensors, rain gauges, landslide monitors, tilt sensors, and piezometric level gauges, to enable the automated acquisition, transmission, storage, processing, and analysis of geological hazard monitoring data. When monitored data exceed predefined warning thresholds, the system promptly issues early warning alerts to ensure timely response.

The construction of the geological hazard monitoring and early-warning system involves the deployment of crowd-based monitoring and prevention facilities and equipment powered by IoT technology, primarily comprising audio-visual alarms, household alarm devices, and high-power public-address systems. The audio-visual alarms are integrated with professional monitoring equipment and can be controlled via the intelligent data-collection terminals of such equipment.

Geodetic GNSS receiver

The geodetic GNSS receiver is a versatile deformation-monitoring device that integrates a high‑precision GNSS module with MEMS sensors. It supports multi‑system, multi‑frequency signal reception, including BeiDou‑3, GPS, and GLONASS, and delivers millimeter‑level static monitoring as well as centimeter‑level dynamic monitoring. Equipped with an advanced intelligent fusion algorithm, the device combines satellite positioning data with inertial sensor information to enable continuous, reliable displacement monitoring in complex environments. It is widely applicable to geological hazard and engineering safety monitoring scenarios, such as landslides, subsidence, and mining‑area deformations.

Radar water level gauge

Radar water level gauges are developed based on millimeter-wave radar and designed for measuring water levels. By recording the time it takes for a pulse wave to travel and multiplying it by the speed of electromagnetic waves, the gauge determines the distance between the liquid surface and the radar antenna, thereby indicating changes in water level. This device is a compact, all‑weather, all‑time sensor that offers high integration, a small footprint, and easy installation.

Integrated Soil Moisture Monitor

The integrated soil moisture monitor is a multi-layer soil moisture sensing device based on the frequency-domain reflectometry (FDR) principle, capable of simultaneously measuring volumetric water content at three distinct depths within the same soil profile. The device integrates high-sensitivity sensors, a low-power processor, and a wireless communication module, supporting remote configuration and real-time data transmission. It features robust temperature compensation and excellent soil adaptability, making it well-suited for long-term soil moisture monitoring in precision agriculture, landslide early warning, eco-hydrology, and other applications.
