Online Monitoring System of Underground Pipeline Flow and Water Quality

I. Project Background

As China’s urbanization accelerates and city scales continue to expand, the scale and complexity of underground pipe network systems are growing exponentially. This rapid development has made real-time monitoring of pipe network flow rates and water quality parameters increasingly critical—a key link in safeguarding urban water environment safety and residents’ health.
Establishing a robust online monitoring system not only enables timely detection of anomalies in pipe network operations and effective prevention of sudden water pollution incidents but also provides strong data support for the scientific management of urban water supply and drainage systems. By deploying advanced smart sensors and high-efficiency data acquisition devices at key nodes of urban pipe networks, 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring of pipe network operating status can be achieved, yielding accurate real-time monitoring data. Such data serves as a scientific basis for urban water environment governance decisions and helps build a more intelligent and efficient urban water management system.

IV. System Value

As a key technical tool for urban water management, the online monitoring system for underground pipe network flow and water quality demonstrates significant application value across multiple dimensions: safeguarding urban water supply safety, optimizing water resource allocation and management, enhancing the economic benefits of water operations, and protecting the ecological environment.
By real-time collecting key water quality parameters (such as flow rate, pressure, turbidity, and residual chlorine) in the pipe network and integrating intelligent analysis algorithms, the system can promptly detect operational anomalies and water quality changes in the pipe network, providing a scientific basis for water supply scheduling decisions.
In terms of water supply safety, the system effectively prevents water pollution incidents and ensures the safety of residents’ drinking water. For resource management, it significantly improves water use efficiency through precise metering and leak analysis. Regarding economic benefits, it reduces pipe network operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and extends the service life of pipe networks. In terms of environmental protection, it minimizes sewage discharge and preserves the aquatic ecological environment.
Therefore, the system has become an indispensable component of water infrastructure in modern smart city construction, playing a crucial role in enhancing the level of refined urban management and sustainable development capabilities.
