What are the application functions of the irrigation district IoT information management system?

Time：2025-08-18 15:20:02

The irrigation district includes a medium-sized reservoir, which is a water conservancy facility with comprehensive benefits such as agricultural irrigation, flood and drought disaster prevention, power generation, tourism, and ecological water supply. It also includes multiple main canals, branch canals, lateral canals, farm canals, and various hydraulic structures. A number of information monitoring equipment are installed here, such as acoustic water level gauges, magnetostrictive water level gauges, radar water level gauges, and integrated measurement and control gates.

In terms of management, the irrigation district has three management offices responsible for agricultural irrigation, ecological water supply in the irrigation district, industrial water use, water supply for hydropower generation, flood and drought disaster prevention and other tasks. It is required to collect the above equipment data into the irrigation district information management platform to realize unified monitoring and online management, so as to improve the management level and work efficiency. In this regard, Wutong Bolian provides an efficient and reliable IoT solution.

Due to the large area of the irrigation district, the cost of wired communication is high and the construction is difficult. Therefore, the water conservancy gateway adopts 4G communication to collect data from various water level gauges, gate PLCs and other equipment into the irrigation district information management platform. It has solar/mains power supply, breakpoint resume, automatic reconnection, industrial-grade protection and low-power data, ensuring the safety and reliability of data collection and transmission, thus providing digital and intelligent support for management departments to realize remote monitoring, abnormal alarm, operation and maintenance management, data analysis and other work.

Functional applications

1. Gate management

Display the distribution, quantity and type, operation status and other information of each gate based on the electronic map, and can view the gate opening, water level before and after the gate, flow, voltage, current and other data information. If a fault occurs, it will automatically alarm, quickly locate and diagnose, and carry out maintenance. In addition, it can also realize remote programming and debugging of PLC and remote uploading and downloading of programs.

2. Canal water management

Collect water level data and connect it to the irrigation district digital model in real time, automatically convert it into water volume, so as to realize the monitoring and management of water level, flow and other information of main canals, branch canals, lateral canals and farm canals. It can also form visual data reports, which is convenient to find real-time water volume and historical water volume. By remotely controlling the gate opening, the rational regulation of water resources is realized.

3. Dam management

Access equipment such as rain gauges, water level gauges, flow meters, current meters, deformation meters, seepage pressure sensors, and seepage sensors. Real-time collect data such as rainfall, water level, flow velocity, flow, displacement, seepage pressure, and seepage, and connect them to the dam management section. If it exceeds the safety threshold, it will automatically alarm, so as to quickly locate and diagnose and take measures to ensure the safety of the reservoir dam.
