Water control has been upgraded to “smart water” and smart water supply has improved the safety of drinking water in urban and rural areas.

Chinese Minister of Water Resources Li Guoying said that in the past ten years, China has solved the drinking water safety problem of 280 million rural residents, and the "drinking water problem" that has plagued hundreds of millions of farmers for generations has been historically solved. The water conservancy department has strengthened the construction of farmland irrigation projects and built 7,330 large and medium-sized irrigation areas, laying a solid foundation for "holding the Chinese people's jobs firmly in their own hands."

Specifically speaking, it includes establishing a complete water supply engineering system, resolutely winning the battle against rural drinking water safety and poverty alleviation, saying goodbye to the troubles of water-borne diseases, and improving the management responsibility system. In order to better satisfy the people's yearning for a better life, the Ministry of Water Resources will continue to increase its efforts in accordance with the overall deployment and requirements of rural revitalization, promote the construction of rural water supply security projects, and continuously improve the level of rural water supply security.

Chen Mingzhong, director of the Department of Rural Water Resources and Hydropower of the Ministry of Water Resources, said that the next step will focus on several aspects of work, including comprehensively consolidating the results of expanding rural water supply and holding the bottom line; accelerating the scale of We must improve the construction of water supply projects and improve the level; we must implement special actions to improve rural water supply quality to ensure water quality safety; we must continuously improve and improve the long-term management and protection mechanism to maximize benefits. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen digital empowerment and realize smart water supply.

What is smart water supply? Smart water supply, also known as smart water, is a real-time perception of the operating status of the urban water supply system through online monitoring equipment such as data collectors, wireless networks, water quality and pressure gauges, and intelligent instruments, and relies on visual methods to organically integrate water management Departments and water supply facilities form the "Urban Water Affairs Internet of Things", which achieves a "smart" state by analyzing and processing large amounts of water affairs data and making decision-making recommendations.

Smart water supply mainly includes two parts, namely platform software (DMA partition system, pipe network GIS system, maintenance management system, data collection system, etc.) and hardware equipment (Internet of Things equipment). Such as clean pool equipment sensors, water quality sensors, water pump sensors, valves, pressure control equipment, data collectors, security monitoring equipment, etc.

In the General Office of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the General Office of the National Development and Reform Commission, and the National Administration of Disease Control and PreventionThe Joint Secretary recently issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Safety of Urban Water Supply" To optimize and improve urban water supply services, promote the level of intelligent water supply management, encourage qualified areas to combine updates and transformations to build intelligent sensing equipment, build urban water supply Internet of Things and operation dispatching platforms, etc., and continuously improve the refined level of water supply facility operations.

In the context of the development of intelligence and digitalization in the new era, as new technologies such as big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and the Internet continue to be integrated into the water industry, the water industry is moving towards intelligent production. , the intelligent development path of monitoring data, process equipment, equipment integration and management informatization. Smart water supply is an important part of smart city construction. It is not only conducive to optimizing the allocation of resources such as urban infrastructure, improving government functions, but also solving the problems of environmental pollution and water shortages to a certain extent, and further improving the safety level of urban and rural water supply.
