Solution Details

Policy Background for Water Resource Monitoring

In October 2021, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Water Resources, and other departments issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Water-Saving Society Construction." The plan requires: strengthening water withdrawal permit management, implementing dynamic supervision, and enhancing water usage measurement and monitoring. It aims to achieve full coverage of water usage measurement and monitoring in industrial parks and above-scale industrial enterprises.

By 2025, the goal is to basically address the shortcomings in water-saving infrastructure and weak regulatory capacity, achieve significant results in building a water-saving society, control total water use within 640 billion cubic meters, reduce water use per 10,000 yuan of GDP by about 16.0% compared to 2020, reduce water use per 10,000 yuan of industrial added value by 16.0% compared to 2020, achieve an effective utilization coefficient of farmland irrigation water of 0.58, and keep the leakage rate of urban public water supply networks below 9.0%.

System Architecture and Functions

The system architecture is designed for comprehensive water resource monitoring and control, integrating data acquisition, transmission, and management.

Core Functions of the Water Usage Measurement and Monitoring System

Water Usage Measurement and Monitoring

Pipelines: The water resource measurement and control terminal collects instantaneous and cumulative flow data from electromagnetic/ultrasonic flow meters and transmits it remotely to the central platform via wireless networks.
Ecological Releases/Agricultural Irrigation: The water resource measurement and control terminal collects flow and velocity data measured by radar/ultrasonic/Doppler flow meters and transmits it remotely to the central platform.

Approach

How we implement intelligence into your infrastructure step by step.

Requirement Investigation and Planning Phase

Form a technical team to visit the project site to clarify the monitoring scope, measurement node locations, medium characteristics, and operating condition parameters. Simultaneously, engage with relevant stakeholders such as water management departments and enterprise users to confirm regulatory compliance requirements (data reporting frequency, measurement accuracy standards) and functional needs (leakage warning, quota management, report generation).

Solution Design Phase

Based on the requirement document, determine equipment models, quantities, and installation locations, and compile equipment lists and deployment drawings. Specify technical requirements such as equipment protection levels (IP68 for outdoor equipment) and calibration cycles.

Deployment and Implementation Phase

Strictly follow design drawings for equipment installation: In industrial scenarios, pay attention to the straight pipe length before and after flow meters; in municipal pipe networks, avoid negative pressure and vibration zones; in agricultural irrigation areas, implement equipment flood and lightning protection measures. After installation, secure the equipment and perform wiring and debugging to ensure proper connection between devices and acquisition terminals.

Commissioning and Acceptance Phase

Conduct a 1-3 month system trial run, collect issues for optimization, test system indicators item by item according to requirements, and verify compliance documentation.
