Since entering the 21st century, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, China's urbanization process has also accelerated suddenly, the number and scale of cities are getting larger and larger, and some problems have emerged in this process, the problem of water resources has become increasingly prominent, and the water industry is facing huge challenges.
As an emerging water management model, smart water should combine Chinese characteristics to effectively solve problems in water resources management, improve water resource utilization efficiency, and ensure water security.
Develop a smart water system according to local conditions.
The uneven development of cities has resulted in different levels of smart water development in the region, so it is necessary to develop a smart water system according to local conditions, and formulate a reasonable smart water development plan based on the characteristics and needs of water resources in various regions.
Through measures such as improving the management system, improving the ability of water quality monitoring, and strengthening the construction of water supply facilities, we will improve the efficiency of water resource utilization, ensure water security, and realize the sustainable development of water resources.
In addition, it pays attention to the innovation of smart water technology, talent training and the construction of policies and regulations to provide strong support for the development of smart water.
For example, the rapid development of some cities, resulting in the increasing pressure of urban water supply, the water supply facilities that could have met the production and domestic water needs of the whole city in the past can gradually fail to adapt to the rapid development of the city, and even affect the normal operation and development of the whole city, in order to improve this situation, the secondary water supply has almost become the only choice.
Although the secondary water supply has brought the water pressure, quantity and quality up to the required level in the short term, more and more problems have arisen over time. For example:
The secondary water supply facilities are aging and not well maintained, resulting in water pollution
The water pressure is unstable, affecting the water supply of residents;
Insufficient water supply, especially during peak hours;
Maintenance management is not in place.
Secondary water supply has played an important role in solving the problem of water quality, water pressure, water quantity, etc., but it has also exposed many problems. In order to fundamentally solve these problems, water supply enterprises need to increase investment, improve maintenance and management capabilities, update old facilities, optimize the layout of water supply networks, and ensure the safety of residents' water supply.
Strengthen independent innovation.
Since the emergence of the concept of smart water, China has also carried out the exploration of smart water for a period of time, during which some achievements have been made, but some problems have also been found.
The main thing is that the instrumentation of wading monitoring is relatively backward, and there is still a certain gap between China's monitoring technology in the field of instrumentation and developed countries compared with developed countries, which is mainly reflected in.
First, the technical level is low. China's instrumentation industry started late, and for a long time, it mainly relied on the introduction of foreign technology and equipment.
Second, the scale of the industry is not large. The scale of China's instrumentation industry is relatively small, and the number of enterprises is large, but the scale is generally small.
Third, the product quality is unstable. Because of the limitations of technical level and production process, there are certain problems in the stability, reliability and accuracy of China's instrumentation products.
Fourth, R&D investment is insufficient. Compared with international advanced enterprises, China's instrumentation enterprises have obvious deficiencies in R&D investment.
Fifth, there is a shortage of talents. The instrumentation industry is a highly technology-intensive industry with a high demand for talent.
Although facing many challenges, China's instrumentation industry is gradually catching up with policy support and enterprise efforts. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will further increase its support for the instrumentation industry and promote the high-quality development of the industry.
In addition, the industry also needs to strengthen standardization work, improve product consistency and interoperability, and create a good environment for the development of the industry.
Strengthen supervision.
China has the most complex topography in the world, coupled with the factor of large population, resulting in the uneven distribution of water resources and population in China. The direction of China's water development is to first develop urban areas and then rural areas and other relatively backward areas, although this water development model temporarily solves this problem, but also further widens the gap between urban and rural areas.
The direction of China's water development should gradually expand to relatively backward areas such as rural areas, so as to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas.
Regulation plays a crucial role in this process.
* The department should strengthen the supervision of water utilities to ensure that they comply with relevant laws and regulations in the process of operation and provide high-quality and safe water resources.
In addition, there is a need to increase investment in water conservation and pollution prevention.
In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to the conservation and rational use of water resources. Enhance public awareness of water conservation through the promotion of water-saving appliances and the strengthening of water-saving publicity.
On this basis, the water price formation mechanism should be improved. Reasonable water prices can reflect the true value of water resources, stimulate the vitality of water enterprises, and guide residents to use water rationally.
To strengthen supervision, it is also necessary to deepen the reform of the water system. It is necessary to promote the transformation and upgrading of water enterprises, encourage enterprise innovation, and improve service quality.
