Multi parameter monitoring system scheme for floating and drifting in Pushiguqiao Jing River, Lingxiangdian, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province
1、 Background and objectives of system construction
(1) Construction background
Shiguqiao Jing is located in the Lingxiangdianpu area of Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a tributary of the Yongning River, with a total length of about 1300 meters. It is adjacent to the agricultural port city. Due to problems such as direct discharge of sewage from surrounding catering businesses and leakage from garbage dumps, the river channel has silted up, the water body has turned black and smelly, and it has become a key and difficult river section for regional water environment governance. Although the main sources of pollution have been eliminated through measures such as dismantling illegal containers and relocating garbage dumps in the early stage, there are still hidden pollution risks such as rainwater pipes secretly discharging sewage at night in the river. The traditional manual inspection and monitoring mode has disadvantages such as low frequency, poor timeliness, and difficulty in detecting hidden pollution, which cannot meet the needs of refined management and protection.
To consolidate the effectiveness of water control and implement the requirements of river chief management, it is urgent to establish an automated and real-time water quality monitoring system. The floating multi parameter monitoring system, with its flexible deployment, unmanned operation, and full-time monitoring advantages, can accurately capture changes in water quality, timely warn of pollution risks, and provide scientific data support for the long-term management and protection of the Shiguqiao Jing River.
(2) Construction Goal
1. Real time perception of water quality status: achieve continuous monitoring of core parameters of water bodies in key sections of Shiguqiao Jing, and grasp the dynamic changes in water quality;
2. Accurate warning of pollution risks: Establish a threshold warning mechanism to address issues such as hidden pollution discharge and sudden changes in water quality, and shorten emergency response time;
3. Support scientific decision-making management: provide objective data basis for the performance of the river chief system, pollution tracing, and evaluation of governance effectiveness;
4. Build a long-term management and protection system: Combining intelligent water management technology, promote the transformation of monitoring mode from "manual inspection" to "intelligent perception", and improve the efficiency of river management and protection.
2、 Overall system architecture
The system adopts a three-layer architecture of "front-end perception network transmission cloud application" to form a closed-loop management process of "monitoring transmission analysis warning disposal", achieving full chain intelligent supervision of the water quality of Shiguqiao Jing River.
(1) Front end perception layer
Deploy a floating monitoring station as the core sensing unit, integrating multi parameter water quality sensors, data acquisition modules, solar power supply systems, and anchoring devices to achieve in-situ collection and local storage of water parameters; For key pollution risk points such as rainwater discharge outlets, auxiliary deployment of input sensors will be carried out to strengthen the monitoring of characteristic pollutants.
(2) Network Transport Layer
Using 4G/NB IoT wireless communication technology, the water quality data collected by the front-end is encrypted and transmitted in real-time to the cloud platform, ensuring the stability and security of data transmission; Support local data storage backup to avoid data loss caused by network interruptions.
(3) Cloud application layer
Build a cloud management platform that integrates data display, analysis and warning, and equipment management to achieve visual presentation of water quality data, historical data query, abnormal warning push, and remote control of equipment, supporting collaborative disposal among multiple departments.
3、 Core components and technical parameters of the system
(1) Core configuration of float monitoring station
The floating monitoring station, as the front-end perception core, adopts modular design and is deployed at three key sections including the intersection of the main and tributary streams of Shiguqiaojing and downstream of the rainwater discharge outlet. The specific configuration is as follows:
Float body: made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene material, with a diameter of about 408mm and a low center of gravity design, it has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, impact resistance, and anti biological attachment, and is suitable for river water flow environment;
Power supply system: equipped with 11W solar panels and 60Ah lithium battery pack, using MPPT automatic power point tracking technology to ensure continuous power supply for more than 7 days in rainy weather, meeting the needs of unmanned operation;
Anchoring system: using 2.5kg cast iron anchor with 10 meter nylon rope to ensure the stability of the buoy under the impact of river water flow and ensure the representativeness of monitoring data;
Protective device: equipped with GPS positioning and anti-theft alarm lights, supporting real-time tracking of device location and security warning.
