Automatic water quality monitoring stations help with comprehensive improvement of reservoir water sources

As a key source of drinking water for the region, the water quality safety of the reservoir is directly linked to public well-being and sustainable ecological development. In recent years, with changes in the surrounding environment, the reservoir has faced multiple challenges, including eutrophication, increased algal bloom risks, and fragile ecological functions. Traditional manual monitoring methods suffer from data lag, numerous blind spots, and slow response times, making them unable to meet the needs of real-time early warning and precise governance. The project urgently requires an intelligent solution capable of all-weather, multi-parameter, high-precision monitoring to provide solid data support for ecological restoration and algal bloom prevention.

Project pain points and technical challenges

1. Complex terrain makes station construction difficult: Land resources around the reservoir are limited, the terrain is rugged, and traditional brick-concrete monitoring stations are long, costly, and environmentally damaging to build.

2. Algal bloom prevention requires rapid response: Algal blooms are sudden, requiring real-time data for early warning and rapid intervention.

3. Strong demand for coordinated multi-parameter monitoring: A single indicator cannot fully reflect water quality; key parameters such as dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, turbidity, and transparency must be monitored simultaneously.

4. Long-term continuous monitoring and low maintenance requirements: The system must be highly reliable in outdoor environments, adaptable to Putian's high temperature and high humidity, and minimize manual maintenance.

Solution: Tailor-made integrated monitoring system

To address these pain points, Tongyang Technology deployed a shoreside, multi-parameter automatic water quality monitoring station for the project. Leveraging advanced sensing technology, automatic control, and IoT communications, this system provides a complete intelligent water quality monitoring system:

1. Lightweight Design and Rapid Deployment: The station utilizes a portable, stainless steel structure, eliminating the need for land acquisition and construction of a fixed station building. Installation and commissioning can be completed within two weeks, making it perfectly adaptable to complex terrain and minimizing environmental disruption.

2. Multi-Parameter Integration for Accurate Capture of Water Quality Changes: The system is equipped with a FUV full-spectrum, multi-parameter sensor that rapidly scans comprehensive water quality indicators. Combined with specialized sensors for dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, conductivity, turbidity, and transparency, this system forms a multi-dimensional monitoring network for a comprehensive understanding of water quality dynamics.

3. Real-Time Early Warning and Algal Bloom Prevention: Through high-frequency data acquisition (settable at 5-15 minute intervals) and wireless data transmission, it monitors eutrophication indicators such as chlorophyll and algae density in real time. Immediately triggering alarms upon detecting abnormal trends buys valuable time for algal bloom prevention. 4. High-reliability design and intelligent operation and maintenance: The station is waterproof, heat-resistant, and lightning-proof, with built-in temperature and humidity control and remote status diagnosis systems. It supports automatic probe cleaning and calibration, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and making it suitable for long-term unattended operation.

Technical highlights and project results

Modular and Flexible Expansion: The system utilizes standardized interfaces, enabling seamless integration of new parameter sensors such as total phosphorus and total nitrogen in the future to meet ongoing upgrade needs.

Data Accuracy and Representativeness: The "local sampling" design ensures real-time water sampling and spatial representativeness, overcoming the significant sampling bias associated with traditional monitoring.

Comprehensive Cost Optimization: The highly integrated design reduces land acquisition, construction, and labor costs, reducing overall operation and maintenance costs by over 40% compared to traditional sites.

Since its implementation, the project has successfully achieved 24/7 uninterrupted monitoring of reservoir water quality, transmitted over 200,000 pieces of valid data, and successfully issued warnings for numerous water quality anomalies, providing key technical support for water source protection and ecological restoration. In the summer of 2024, the incidence of algal blooms in the reservoir decreased significantly year-on-year, and water transparency continued to improve.
