Intelligent water meter can solve the gap of 100 million cubic meters of water in Beijing

[China Instrument Network Industry Focus] On September 7, it was learned from the Beijing Water Affairs Bureau that the total volume of river water from the South-to-North Water Transfer Project exceeded 500 million cubic meters. However, the Beijing Municipal Water Affairs Bureau stated that there is still a shortage of water in Beijing and the water shortage is close to 100 million cubic meters. So why did it cause this gap? Can we use smart meters to make up for this shortfall? The author will bring you answers to these questions.


After the arrival of Nanshui, Beijing has come from a water shortage of 500 million cubic meters of “South Water”. Is Beijing no longer lacking water? The relevant person in charge of the Municipal Water Affairs Bureau stated that due to Beijing's lack of natural endowment and too many historical debts, the arrival of “South Water” did not fundamentally improve the status quo of water shortages in Beijing. Beijing’s water resources situation is still very severe. Compared with the level in 2014, the water resources of the city still lacks 97 million cubic meters of water.

The Municipal Water Affairs Bureau stated that there were three reasons for this. First, the deficit was too large and the total water volume did not increase fundamentally. Before the “South Water” entered the capital, Beijing began directing 300 million cubic meters of water from the Siku of Hebei Province every year since 2008, and at the same time, over 500 million cubic meters of underground water was pumped every year. Since the “Nan Shui” officially went to Beijing, according to the current operating conditions, as of the end of October this year, “South Water” could enter Beijing with a maximum volume of 703 million cubic meters, and the incoming water volume accounted for 86% of the planned amount of 818 million cubic meters. Compared with the level in 2014, the water resources situation still lacks 97 million cubic meters of water. The water shortage is nearly 100 million cubic meters.

Second, Beijing's annual rainfall is relatively low, and the amount of effective water resources formed has dropped significantly. Since January 1, 2015, the city's accumulated precipitation has reached 466 millimeters, which is less than 515 millimeters of average annual precipitation. The city's large and medium-sized reservoirs have accumulated 1.391 billion cubic meters of water, a decrease of 118 million cubic meters compared with the same period last year. It can be seen that the less precipitation and the reduced storage of the reservoir will inevitably lead to a further strain on the water resources situation.

The third is the increase in the number of people and the decrease in the amount of water resources per capita. In 2015, the actual precipitation and reservoir storage capacity both decreased. Although the amount of industrial and agricultural water consumption continued to decrease, the total population increased at a rate of around 600,000 a year, resulting in a slight increase in the total water demand of the city as a whole; The decline has been noticeable and the tight water resources situation remains severe.

Whether the smart water meter can make up for the shortage of water sources as the leader of the water meter industry, Sanchuan Water Meter Company is committed to promoting smart water meters to promote the development of the water industry in China. So, can we use intelligent water meters to make up for the shortfall in dealing with this time of water shortage in Beijing? Maybe we can seize the national construction guidelines the price ladder policy and wisdom of the city, while accelerating popularity of smart meter Beijing to ease or even completely solve the gap.

By the end of 2015, it will complete the transformation of “one household, one form” and fully implement the stepped water price system. Continuously promote the construction of smart cities in Beijing, and build the entire process of intelligent water management systems and electronic safety monitoring systems for drinking water. This can effectively solve the serious problem of the waste of water resources used by the population. At the same time as the increase in the number of people, if every household can save a little water, it may increase the overall use of water resources.

At the same time, with the construction of water price ladders and smart cities, smart watches represented by the Internet of Things meter have functions such as ladder pricing, remote control, and prepayment. To achieve smart water construction, then what exactly is "smart water"? Smart Water Management uses real-time sensing devices such as data collectors, wireless networks, water pressure gauges, and other online monitoring devices to sense the operation status of the city's water supply and drainage systems, and uses a visual approach to organically integrate water management and water supply and drainage facilities to form an urban water utility network. "We can analyze and process the massive water-related information in a timely manner, and make corresponding decisions to assist decision-making, and manage the entire production, management, and service processes of the water-work system in a more detailed and dynamic manner, thereby achieving "intelligence." status. The resulting smart water construction can often solve the problem of less precipitation and uneven distribution in the region.

Whether the gap of 100 million cubic meters of water used in Beijing can be completely resolved under the guidance of smart water meters depends on the progress of smart water meter promotion and the construction of smart water services. It is believed that under the premise of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, with the intelligent construction of water meters in Beijing, it can perfectly solve the problem of water use in Beijing and achieve win-win results in economic and environmental benefits.
