With frequent rainfall during urban flood seasons, municipal drainage and emergency management departments face significant challenges and urgent needs in controlling waterlogging and flooding. Traditional flood monitoring relies mainly on manual onsite inspections and fixedpoint checks. For floodprone areas such as lowlying roads, underpass tunnels, and underground drainage networks, this approach leads to incomplete monitoring coverage, delayed data collection, and low efficiency. As a result, hidden dangers like excessive积水 (standing water) or poor drainage often go unnoticed until it's too late.

As smart city critical infrastructure continues to develop rapidly, urban waterlogging management requires an automated, intelligent, and fully covered realtime monitoring and control system to improve the precision of flood prevention and drainage efforts. To address this need, WideIOT deploys an industrial IoT platform that connects to water level sensors, rain gauges, cameras, and other devices at various floodprone locations. The platform collects realtime data on water depth and rainfall, and uploads this data along with live video feeds to the management platform of the relevant authorities. This enables realtime monitoring, alerting, management, and statistical analysis of urban waterlogging across different areas, providing comprehensive and reliable digital support for flood prevention and drainage operations.

Key Features

24/7 automated collection of data including water depth, rainfall, pipeline flow, and equipment status at each monitoring point — replacing manual inspections and achieving fullarea, noblindspot monitoring.

Support for custom alert thresholds for water depth, pressure, and flow. When data exceeds the threshold, alert notifications are automatically pushed via WeChat, SMS, or email, enabling early detection and rapid response.

An intuitive visualization of citywide waterlogging distribution, equipment locations, and operational status using GIS maps and builtin algorithms, enabling visual and multidimensional control of flooding situations.

Remote access to pump station operating parameters, and remote start/stop of pumps, valves, and other equipment — allowing rapid coordination of drainage assets and improving emergency response efficiency.

Compatibility with databases such as MySQL and SQL Server for automatic storage of historical monitoring data, and generation of reports on rainfall, flooding, pipeline operations, and waterlogging response — supporting datadriven decisionmaking for flood prevention and drainage efforts.
