Demand Context

Building a digital irrigation district to ensure efficient water use and food security.

The scale of irrigation districts continues to expand, and their level of informatization is steadily improving. By implementing an intelligent irrigation district information monitoring and management system, real-time tracking of water resource changes within the districts is achieved. This plays a vital role in ensuring the safe operation of irrigation projects, optimizing water resource allocation, enhancing water utilization efficiency, and advancing the development of high-standard farmland.

Key Challenges

Scattered Water Data

Water level, flow and rainfall data from different gates and stations are isolated, hindering unified scheduling.

Delayed Alerts

Without real‑time thresholds, abnormal water levels or gate failures are detected too late, risking crops.

Inefficient Manual Control

Gate and pump adjustments rely on field visits, wasting time and labor, and delaying responses to changing conditions.

Lack of Decision Support

Historical water usage and irrigation data are not analyzed for optimizing water rights allocation and drought prevention.

Solution Overview

IoT‑enabled irrigation district management integrating hydrology, gate control and remote monitoring.

Integrated equipment within irrigation districts, including gates, water level gauges, and flow meters, connects to the WideIOT hydrological and water management gateway (RTU). Data is transmitted via 5G/4G to the water administration authority platform or other management platforms, enabling visual display and automatic alerts upon detecting abnormal readings. This facilitates precise management of channel water levels, flow rates, and rainfall-runoff conditions within irrigation districts. Furthermore, leveraging alert notifications and real-time data, managers can dynamically adjust irrigation water intake strategies, remotely control gate and pump operations, and remotely access surveillance footage. This significantly enhances operational efficiency and response capabilities, ensuring uninterrupted water supply for agricultural production.
