Intelligent Comprehensive Safety Monitoring Solution for Water Resources

Background Introduction

The reservoir safety monitoring system comprises intelligent reservoir sensing, IoT-based information and communication, and a cloud-based smart monitoring and management platform. For small reservoirs, the online monitoring function enables automatic collection, analysis, and reporting of operational data such as reservoir water level, rainfall, video feeds, seepage flow, and seepage pressure. The self-organizing network and IoT system provide comprehensive multi-parameter data acquisition and communication capabilities, while the cloud platform of the reservoir safety monitoring and early-warning system offers intelligent analysis and alerting for monitoring data. Together, these components deliver end-to-end support for remote perception of reservoir operating conditions, operational trend analysis, safety management, and online management of inspection and patrol activities, thereby supporting both individual reservoir management and large-scale management across provinces, cities, or counties.

Solution Overview

The water resources safety monitoring and early warning system encompasses a wide range of monitoring sensors, including GNSS, rain gauges, radar-based water level gauges, video surveillance cameras, GNSS, flume flow meters, and vibrating-wire piezometers, to enable the automated acquisition, transmission, storage, processing, and analysis of water resources safety monitoring data. When monitored data exceed predefined alert thresholds, the system promptly issues early warning notifications and initiates timely response measures.
