Reservoir Rainfall Monitoring Solution

Background Introduction

The safety of reservoirs is vital to the lives and property of people downstream, as well as to the local economic and social stability and development. Establishing an automated monitoring system for reservoir water levels and rainfall, ensuring timely data collection, developing a unified data standards framework, implementing a dynamic supervision and management system to standardize operational procedures, and setting up mechanisms for data sharing and exchange will enhance information utilization and significantly improve emergency management capabilities.

Solution Overview

The rainfall monitoring system comprises on-site water-level and rainfall measurement devices, on-site image-capture equipment, as well as the construction of an information-receiving and display platform at the monitoring center and associated application systems. It collects real-time data on water levels, rainfall amounts, and on-site images, transmits this data remotely to the monitoring center, and uses software for reception, display, storage, analysis, processing, and early warning.

Based on the characteristics and requirements of reservoir hydrological and rainfall monitoring, the primary equipment required at the monitoring site includes: a reservoir remote terminal unit (RTU) for collecting sensor data and transmitting it remotely to the monitoring center; rain gauges, water-level sensors, and video cameras; and solar panels and batteries to supply power to the RTU and sensors.

RECOMMENDED CASES

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS

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.

Rainfall monitor

The rainfall monitor is a fully automatic rainfall recording device featuring a dual‑bucket mechanical design, offering a resolution of 0.2 mm and a measurement accuracy of ±2%. It can operate reliably under extreme temperature and vibration conditions. The device integrates rainfall sensing, data storage, and wireless transmission capabilities, supporting real-time calculation of rainfall intensity and cumulative rainfall statistics. It is widely used in meteorology, hydrology, geological hazard monitoring, and urban flood‑control surveillance.
