Integrated Intelligent Measurement and Control Gate System Solution for Irrigation Districts

I. Solution Background

In today's society, problems such as water resource shortage, severe water pollution, and ecological environment deterioration have become increasingly prominent, putting water resources in an extremely severe situation.
Doing a good job in water resource management and strengthening conservation and protection efforts have put forward higher requirements for the supporting and guarantee capabilities of water resources. However, weak water conservancy facilities remain a significant constraint.
In some areas, the gates have a low level of automation, failing to realize remote measurement and control, and thus unable to achieve precise management of water resources. This leads to serious resource waste, making it urgent and necessary to accelerate the construction of water conservancy informatization infrastructure.

Chenmai Wisdom

Starting from user needs, Chenmai Wisdom conducts in-depth analysis of the current situation of irrigation district informatization. Combining its years of industry technological innovation and project implementation experience, it independently researches and develops the Integrated Intelligent Measurement and Control Gate Comprehensive Management System for Irrigation Districts. This system effectively solves the problems of complex construction, lack of metering and high costs encountered in the implementation of measurement and control gates in irrigation districts, greatly improves the utilization efficiency of water resources in irrigation districts, and ensures the sustainable use of water resources. Relying on an advanced informatization platform, it develops high-efficiency water-saving agriculture and implements the most stringent water resource management system. By installing intelligent integrated measurement and control gates in channels, supporting information and communication systems, and installing water allocation management software, the goals of remote gate monitoring, quantitative water supply, automatic water measurement and optimal allocation of water resources are achieved.

II. System Composition

The Intelligent Integrated Measurement and Control Gate System refers to a software and hardware system that collects data and performs remote control of the new integrated measurement and control gates. This system has functions such as remote gate control, water metering, video monitoring, prepaid management, report printing, and payment inquiry. It is a powerful tool for irrigation district management units to dispatch water volume, collect water fees from water intake users and conduct quota management. It is also a major technical means for intelligent irrigation construction, a key infrastructure for in-depth promotion of agricultural water price reform, and a main component of irrigation district informatization. The Integrated Intelligent Measurement and Control Gate System for Irrigation Districts consists of four parts: monitoring center, communication network, front-end monitoring equipment and measurement equipment. As shown in the figure below:

  • Front-End Monitoring Equipment: Irrigation district monitoring terminals, water metering devices, motors, hoists, motor controllers, opening and closing control of valves/gates, etc.
  • Communication Network: Primarily using 2G/3G/4G/5G communication methods, with SMS as a backup (Beidou satellite communication is customizable).

Monitoring Center: Cloud servers, integrated receiving and processing platforms, etc.

Measuring Equipment: Water level sensors, limit switches, cameras, or other instrument transmitters.

III. System Functions

■ Data Collection and DisplayIt realizes real-time collection of water flow through the gate, and can also collect water level, gate status, electricity consumption, video information of the area near the gate, etc. The real-time display is carried out through the spatial location presented by GIS, allowing users to clearly grasp the status of each gate and the movement of water flow at a glance.

■ Gate Control

The system can control the opening and closing of gates according to the unified command of the irrigation district. In user mode, users can also control the gates on-site using a card, mobile APP, remote controller, etc. Only one user can perform gate opening and closing operations at any given time.

■ Water Usage Management

The system can set the total water consumption for each registered user or the total water volume flowing through the gate. When the water volume exceeds the set limit, an alarm will be triggered to realize quota-based water management and control the total water consumption.

■ Water Fee Collection

The system supports functions such as card activation and recharge for each user. There are multiple recharge methods available, including recharging via APP or recharging with a handheld card at designated locations.

■ Report Printing

The system automatically counts and stores the daily, weekly, and monthly water consumption data.

■ Mobile APP

The system supports mobile APP functions such as inquiry, video monitoring, control, and recharge, enabling mobile office work, fee payment, and remote control.
