Industry Background:
Water is a fundamental natural resource and a strategic economic resource crucial to the national economy and people's livelihood.
China faces a situation of abundant total water resources (ranking sixth globally) but scarce per capita water resources, merely 35% of the world average. Nearly two-thirds of cities across the country experience varying degrees of water scarcity. To address water scarcity, water conservation is the fundamental solution, with water resource monitoring and management serving as essential tools.
Pain Points Analysis:
- Data Collection Difficulties: Traditional manual measurement methods fail to meet the demands of modern water resource management, being costly, inefficient, and incapable of large-scale, high-frequency data collection.
- Severe Information Silos: Data on water quality from different regions lacks effective communication and sharing mechanisms, leading to irrational resource allocation and difficulty in forming unified, efficient response strategies.
- Delayed Scheduling Decisions: The absence of water resource forecasting, early warning systems, and data analysis support results in delayed responses to issues such as water pollution, water disasters, and groundwater over-extraction, affecting resource utilization efficiency.
Solution:
In response to these industry pain points, WideIOT offers a water resource metering and monitoring system solution.
Centered around an IoT gateway, the system can connect to devices such as flow meters, water level gauges, and water quality monitors, collecting data and enabling real-time communication across multiple sites via 5G/4G/WIFI/Ethernet. This facilitates various intelligent applications, suitable for the following scenarios:
- Water Resource Quantity: Collecting data on water levels, flow rates, and water quality from rivers, lakes, and groundwater sources, and uploading it to水利部门 (Water Resources Department) platforms via the gateway.
- Water Storage Facilities: Collecting rainfall, water level, flow rate, and water quality data from reservoirs, dams, and flood detention basins, and uploading it to water conservancy facility management platforms or水利部门 (Water Resources Department) platforms via the gateway.
- Water Resource Development and Utilization: Collecting data on water consumption, supply volumes, rainfall, water levels, flow rates, and water quality from hydropower stations and irrigation districts, and uploading it to corresponding management platforms and水利部门 (Water Resources Department) platforms.

System Functions
- Real-time Monitoring: By collecting and monitoring data from water bodies, water storage facilities, and water usage facilities in real-time, changes in water resources can be promptly grasped, enabling timely and reasonable measures.
- Alert and Early Warning: When abnormal conditions or threshold exceedances are detected, alerts are immediately triggered, and warning messages are sent to relevant units via WeChat, SMS, email, etc., for rapid response.
- Centralized Management: Achieving data sharing among water resources departments, agricultural departments, and enterprise units, enabling centralized management of water resources across various regions and ensuring water resource security through rational allocation.
- Data Analysis: Based on visualized data and intelligent analysis, providing reliable water resource management recommendations and pollution prevention strategies for governments and relevant enterprises, offering strong support for policy formulation.
