Smart water conservancy construction welcomes major opportunities, 5G commercialization brings more possibilities

In the new era and new requirements, the development of my country's water conservancy industry is constantly moving forward. In January 2019, the National Water Conservancy Work Conference was held in Beijing. At the meeting, E Jingping, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, emphasized in his speech that at the level of engineering construction, in terms of major water conservancy project construction, flood control and drought relief water conservancy improvement project construction, rural water conservancy construction, soil and water conservation ecological construction and engineering construction modernization, etc. File upgrade.

Indeed, my country’s current economic and social development is accelerating towards modernization, and the construction of water conservancy infrastructure also needs to be accelerated. From the current perspective, water conservancy infrastructure construction in various parts of our country is facing different challenges. For example, because it is located on the edge of the desert, Ningxia's shortcoming is water shortage, and what is needed is the construction of large-scale integrated urban and rural water supply projects; while Zhejiang, which is located on the coast, needs to continue to work on flood control and drainage.

Experts said that in the face of these differentiated challenges, we must adapt to local conditions, give full play to policy advantages, closely integrate cutting-edge technologies, make up for the shortcomings of water conservancy projects with one hand, and grasp the supervision of the water conservancy industry with the other, so as to achieve better results to solve the obstacles to water conservancy development. The construction of water conservancy infrastructure must, on the one hand, grasp the key of "high quality" and accelerate the progress based on the actual conditions of various places; on the other hand, it must also closely integrate the new generation of information technology and intelligent products to promote the intelligentization and informatization of the water conservancy industry. upgrade.

Therefore, in the process of focusing on guiding the modern development of the water conservancy industry, we must do a good job in the top-level design of smart water conservancy, accelerate the upgrading and transformation of information infrastructure, strengthen industry supervision information support, and further accelerate water conservancy technology Innovate pace and strengthen investment plan execution management. Only by adhering to the spirit of scientific and technological innovation and keeping up with the pace of the times can we ensure that the development of water conservancy will not lag behind.

Faced with the new development trend of "smart water conservancy", more and more companies are beginning to follow this smart trend. Recently, during the 2019 China Water Expo and China Water Summit Forum, China Unicom launched a "5G sky and ground integrated" smart water conservancy overall solution. The solution innovatively applies 5G, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, VR and other technologies, and combines satellite remote sensing, drones, unmanned ships, underwater drones and professional water environment perception equipment, subject toreceive widespread attention.

It is understood that the "5G Sky and Ground Integrated" smart water conservancy solution has three major features. One is a smart sensing system based on the 5G transmission network; the other is based on dual-middle platform technology. Water conservancy data and water conservancy business core mid-office capabilities; third, a water conservancy business full application system oriented by agile front-office concepts.

At present, this solution has been successfully applied, and the implementation projects include the Hechang Provincial Platform in Fujian Province, the Hechang River Project in the Tahe River Basin in Xinjiang, and the Meixian Hechang Platform in Meizhou. This plan will gradually change the water conservancy management model, improve work efficiency, further enrich and strengthen supervision methods, thereby promoting water conservancy governance to move from governance by people to governance by numbers.

Indeed, digital governance has become an inevitable trend in the future. As 5G technology accelerates commercialization, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things and other industries become more mature, and the collaborative development and collaborative application of new generation information technologies will become more in-depth. At the same time, the emergence of new combinations such as "5G + drones", "5G + unmanned ships", and "5G + underwater robots" will also add fuel to the construction of smart water conservancy.

We look forward to whether it is new technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, or new equipment such as drones and underwater robots, they can better "resonate" with the water conservancy industry. Achieve "win-win". When the development of smart water conservancy continues to achieve new results, the modernization of my country's water conservancy industry will be realized faster, and a new round of explosion in the water conservancy market will also come.
