Improving the resilience of the pipeline network and adopting low-carbon renewal technologies are important directions for the development of modern urban water systems, aiming to improve the resilience and sustainability of water systems and reduce carbon emissions. Here are some of the technologies for improving the resilience of the pipeline network and renewing the carbon footprint:
Pipe network resilience improvement technology:
Intelligent monitoring and management system:

Benefits: Improve real-time perception of the health of the network and reduce disaster losses.
Intelligent Leak Detection System:
Features: Utilize high-precision leak detection sensors and algorithms to achieve fast and accurate diagnosis of pipeline leaks.
Benefits: Shorter leak detection time, less water waste, and improved resilience.
Distributed water supply system design:
Features: Adopt a distributed water supply system, through multi-source water sources and pipe network interconnection, improve the flexibility and disaster resistance of the system.
Benefits: Reduce the impact of a single point of failure on the entire system and improve the reliability of water supply.
Optimization of piping materials and designs:
Features: Adopt high-toughness, corrosion-resistant pipes to optimize pipe layout and design.
Benefits: Improve the compressive and seismic resistance of pipelines, and reduce the possibility of pipeline aging and damage.
Emergency backup water source:
Features: Set up backup water sources at key locations, such as emergency reservoirs, water wheels, etc.
Benefits: Provide a backup water supply in an emergency and mitigate the impact of disasters on water supplies.
Community Water System:
Features: Distribute the water system to the community level to form small-scale, independently operated subsystems.
Benefits: In the event of a partial failure of the system, it does not affect the entire urban water system, improving the resilience of the system.
Low-carbon renewal technology:
Energy Consumption Monitoring and Management System:
Features: Introduce smart metering and monitoring system to monitor the energy consumption of pipe network operation in real time.
Benefits: Through energy consumption data analysis, identify bottlenecks in pipe network energy consumption, optimize and reduce carbon emissions.
Energy** & Utilization:
Features: The energy collected and generated during the operation of the pipe network, such as pressure energy and heat energy in sewage.
Benefits: Reduced dependence on external energy sources and lower carbon emissions.
Intelligent Pumping Station Management:
Features: Introduce an adjustable and variable frequency pumping station system to adjust the operation status of the pumping station according to the actual demand.
Benefits: Optimize energy consumption and reduce unnecessary energy consumption during pumping station operation.
Pipeline Renovation & Renewal:
Features: More efficient piping design and materials are adopted, which reduces operating resistance and reduces pump energy consumption.
Benefits: Improve the efficiency of water transmission in the pipeline network and reduce the work intensity of the pumping station.
Low-carbon material applications:
Features: Adopt low-carbon and environmentally friendly materials, such as glass fiber, HDPE (high-density polyethylene), etc.
Benefits: Reduce carbon emissions in the production and use of materials, and improve the environmental friendliness of the system.
Renewable Energy Utilization:
Features: Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy are used to power the water system.
Benefits: Reduced dependence on traditional energy sources and lower carbon emissions.
Green Water Supply Process:
Features: Adopt green water supply technology, such as rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse, etc.
