Urban Waterlogging: The Invisible Underground Threat and Road Water Accumulation Monitoring Station

Urban waterlogging is an invisible "underground threat".

In recent years, extreme rainfall events have occurred frequently, and many cities have suffered severe waterlogging. News of traffic paralysis, flooded vehicles, and trapped residents are not uncommon, which not only seriously affects the normal life of residents but also threatens life and property safety.

How is the crisis of urban waterlogging formed? The "culprit" is road water accumulation. However, the convergence of water is not accidental, but the result of the combined action of multiple factors.

First, the urban underlying surface is mostly impermeable cement and asphalt pavement, so rainwater cannot penetrate quickly, leading to an increase in surface runoff.

Second, the design standards of urban drainage systems are lagging, pipes are aging, and drainage capacity is insufficient, making it difficult to cope with short-term heavy rainfall.

Third, the occupation and landfilling of natural water systems in urban construction have destroyed the original rainwater storage capacity, making it impossible for rainwater to be discharged in time and further leading to water convergence.

When the water accumulation depth reaches a certain level, waterlogging disasters will be triggered.

From "water control" to "intelligent water management", the governance of urban waterlogging needs to combine engineering measures and intelligent means.

Engineering measures are the basis for governing urban waterlogging. Widening and dredging drainage pipes, building storage tanks, and sponge city facilities can directly enhance the city's drainage and water storage capabilities and reduce the formation of water accumulation from the root. However, engineering measures have certain limitations and are difficult to monitor the dynamic changes of water accumulation in complex urban environments in real time. Intelligent means just make up for this deficiency. By deploying water accumulation monitoring equipment and building an intelligent management platform, we can grasp the urban waterlogging situation in real time, quickly analyze and issue warnings, assist urban managers in making scientific decisions, reasonably dispatch resources, and improve the efficiency of waterlogging response.

Road Water Accumulation Monitoring Station ——FT-JS1

FT-JS1 Road Water Accumulation Monitoring Station is composed of a host, buried water accumulation monitor, power supply system, pole bracket, display screen, and cloud platform, realizing real-time monitoring and early warning of urban road water accumulation.

The system buries water level monitor sensors in low-lying sections and water-prone areas of urban roads to detect changes in water accumulation levels in real time, and transmits the collected data to the monitoring host. After the monitoring host processes and analyzes the data, it uploads the results to the cloud platform for viewing and management by relevant management departments.

The cloud platform can integrate data from each monitoring point to form a comprehensive urban water accumulation monitoring network, allowing municipal management departments to clearly grasp the water accumulation situation in all corners of the city.

In summary, the governance of urban waterlogging needs to organically combine engineering measures and intelligent means to form a systematic solution to better cope with urban waterlogging problems.
