Solution Details
Essential Reservoir and Hydropower Ecological Discharge Online Monitoring
Ecological discharge is essential for maintaining river health. China's Ministry of Water Resources mandates 100% online monitoring of ecological flow releases at all reservoirs and hydropower stations. As a co-author of the national ecological discharge monitoring standard, Ecolor Technology provides end-to-end solutions from sensors to platform.
The system employs LGF electromagnetic flowmeters for precise pipeline flow measurement, visual radar level meters for real-time water level monitoring with HD video evidence, Hero V9 RTU for data acquisition and remote gate control, and compact water quality stations for ecological parameter monitoring.
Key Features of the Ecological Discharge Monitoring System
- Compliant with national ecological discharge monitoring standard (Ecolor co-authored)
- LGF electromagnetic flowmeters with high precision and corrosion resistance
- Visual radar level meters combining radar + HD camera fusion
- Hero V9 RTU supporting remote gate control and data acquisition
- Multi-parameter water quality monitoring (temperature/DO/pH)
- 4G/BeiDou dual-link communication ensuring zero data loss

Approach
How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.
Precise Discharge Flow Metering
LGF electromagnetic flowmeters installed at discharge pipelines, featuring aerospace-grade polymer lining for corrosion resistance, achieving ±0.5% accuracy to meet stringent regulatory requirements.
Upstream-Downstream Visual Monitoring
Visual radar level meters deployed at both upstream and downstream locations, utilizing 80GHz millimeter-wave radar for precise water level measurement with integrated HD cameras for real-time visual verification.
Data Acquisition & Remote Control
Hero V9 RTU (EC32/EC60) collects flow, level, and water quality data, transmitting via 4G/BeiDou dual links to the regulatory platform, with support for remote gate operation.
Ecological Water Quality Monitoring
Compact water quality stations monitor temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and other key ecological indicators to comprehensively assess discharge impact on downstream ecosystems.
Intelligent Alert & Regulation
The platform analyzes discharge data in real-time, triggering automatic alerts when flow drops below minimum ecological thresholds and activating emergency gate adjustments.
