Demand Context

Ensuring reservoir dam safety through real‑time monitoring and early warning systems.

In recent years, influenced by global climate change and human activities, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events have increased, imposing new and higher demands on the safe operation of reservoir engineering. Therefore, establishing a reservoir rainfall and water level monitoring and dam safety early warning system enables comprehensive control over reservoirs and dams. This system provides reliable data support for flood control, disaster mitigation, peak shaving, and dry-season water supply, ensuring the safe and stable operation of water conservancy facilities.

Key Challenges

Scattered Data Sources

Hydrological, structural and meteorological data are siloed, making holistic safety assessment difficult.

Delayed Alerts

Without real‑time thresholds, abnormal water levels or dam displacements are detected too late.

Manual Inspection Gaps

Remote sites rely on periodic inspections, missing early signs of seepage or structural shifts.

Lack of Predictive Analysis

Historical data is not leveraged to forecast flood risks or optimize water resource allocation.

Solution Overview

IoT‑enabled reservoir monitoring integrating hydrology, structural safety and video.

Reasonably deploy flow meters, water level gauges, rain gauges, seepage sensors, piezometers, displacement sensors, and cameras at the reservoir dam. These devices connect to the WideIOT Hydrology Gateway (RTU) and transmit data in real time via 5G/4G networks to the reservoir management platform. This enables remote monitoring and automatic alerts, prompting relevant departments to take measures to maintain dam safety. Data reports and graphs are used to assess flood risks and severity, enabling macro-level regulation of watershed water resource allocation to safeguard the lives and property of residents surrounding the reservoir.

Programme Benefits

Comprehensive safety and operational insights through intelligent reservoir monitoring.

Real‑time Monitoring

Keep abreast of pore water pressure, water level, inflow/outflow, rainfall and dam displacement through mobile, PC or dashboard.

Map Display

GIS electronic map shows equipment statistics, location distribution, status and alarms – a complete overview of dam operation.

Overlimit Alarm

Automatic alerts for equipment failure, excessive flow or dam displacement via WeChat, SMS, email – quick location and action.

Interconnection & Sharing

Unified data exchange with meteorological, hydrological and flood control platforms; vertical sharing from ministerial to county levels.

Station Management

Centralised management of station info, equipment parameters, maintenance cycles – visual and efficient O&M processes.

Data Analysis

Compare historical data of phreatic line, water level, rainfall, seepage and displacement; big‑data models assess safety risks.
