Luohu will install smart sensors at all key spots in its water network this year so as to realize real-time monitoring of its rivers, underground sewage pipelines and other water conservancy projects, and improve the efficiency of its responses to emergencies.

The sensors are connected with the Internet, and can transfer relevant water-related information, such as discharge rates and quality levels, to the water authority in real-time, saving large amounts of human power and time previously used for manual on-the-spot monitoring.

The sensors will play an important role in reducing urban waterlogging in Luohu in the rainy season from May to August, as well as other water-related accidents caused by extreme weather, allowing the quick response of relevant departments in taking timely actions to nip the dangers in the bud.

According to the district government, it will install the sensors in all of the 170 outfall sewers discharging water in rivers, 100 key rainfall monitoring spots and 21 spots in the urban area under its jurisdiction prone to waterlogging.

Sensors will also be applied to monitor water quality of the five major rivers in Luohu — the Shenzhen, Buji, Bijiashan, Shawan and Liantang.

The project is a joint operation by the Luohu district government affairs data administration and the Luohu water authority as part of the district's smart governance system, tapping into its strengths in cloud computing, big data, 5G and artificial intelligence.
