Drainage Network Level Monitoring & Overflow Warning Solution

A comprehensive solution for urban drainage networks, stormwater systems, sewer systems, and combined sewers, providing real-time level monitoring, overflow warning, flood risk identification, and emergency dispatch. Effectively prevents urban flooding and water pollution.

Overview

Summary

A comprehensive solution for urban drainage networks, stormwater systems, sewer systems, and combined sewers, providing real-time level monitoring, overflow warning, flood risk identification, and emergency dispatch. Effectively prevents urban flooding and water pollution.

Key Advantages

Multiple level meter types: submersible, ultrasonic, radar water level meters for flexible selection
Full coverage of key network nodes: main pipes, branches, manholes, overflow outlets, pump stations
RTU real-time collection: second-level sampling frequency, real-time data upload
Intelligent warning model: multi-level warning based on level trends and rainfall forecasts
Automatic overflow event identification: precise detection combining flow and level data
Visual network map: GIS map overlaid with level data at a glance
Mobile monitoring: smartphone app for real-time network status anytime
Historical data analysis: network operation trend analysis and overflow risk prediction

Challenges

  • Urban drainage networks are vast, making it difficult to monitor level data in real time
  • During heavy rainfall, full-pipe overflows cause urban flooding and road subsidence
  • Combined sewer overflow (CSO) events cause rapid deterioration of river water quality
  • Pipe siltation and blockage issues are hard to detect in time, reducing drainage capacity
  • Lack of historical level data analysis makes overflow risk prediction impossible
  • Emergency dispatch lacks real-time data support, resulting in low response efficiency

Results

  • 24/7 real-time network level monitoring, overflow detection time reduced from hours to minutes
  • Waterlogging warning accuracy improved to 90%+, reducing urban flooding losses by 30-50%
  • Combined sewer overflow (CSO) events reduced by 40%+, improving receiving water quality
  • Network operating efficiency improved, drainage capacity increased by 15-25%
  • Data-driven scientific dispatch reduces manual inspection costs by 50%+
  • Network operation database established, providing data support for pipe renovation and planning

How the Intelligent Drainage Monitoring System Works

The solution begins with the deployment of robust level meters at key nodes within the drainage network. Data is collected and transmitted via RTU terminals to a secure cloud platform. Here, intelligent algorithms analyze the information, comparing it against thresholds and weather forecasts to generate early warnings. This enables proactive management, helping to prevent urban flooding, reduce water pollution from overflows, and optimize maintenance dispatch.

Approach

How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.

01

Step 1: Network Survey & Node Planning

Conduct comprehensive drainage network survey to identify key monitoring points (low-lying areas, overflow-prone points, critical sections, outlets) and develop scientific monitoring plans

02

Step 2: Level Meter Deployment

Deploy submersible level meters (for full-pipe conditions) or ultrasonic level meters (for non-full-pipe conditions) at key nodes

03

Step 3: RTU Terminal Installation & Networking

Configure RTU terminals at each monitoring point for real-time level data collection and remote transmission, supporting 4G/5G/wired communication

04

Step 4: Warning Model Development

Based on historical level data, network topology, and rainfall forecasts, establish intelligent overflow warning models with multi-level warnings

05

Step 5: Dispatch Integration & Continuous Optimization

Automatic linkage with pump station dispatch and gate control upon warning trigger, continuously optimize warning thresholds and dispatch strategies
