SOLUTION | RURAL WATER SUPPLY ONLINE MONITORING

01. INTRODUCTION

The safety management of rural water supply is a crucial element to ensure safe drinking water in rural areas, directly impacting the health and well-being of rural residents and social stability. Utilizing mature technologies developed over years in the field of spectroscopy, Optosky integrates modern computer, communication, and sensor technologies to provide unmanned, remote, real-time monitoring and surveillance of water supply pipelines, achieving real-time monitoring and early warning of water quality conditions.

02 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

(a) Guiding Principle

A thorough understanding that rural drinking water safety assurance is a vital part of consolidating poverty alleviation results and promoting rural revitalization, establishing a comprehensive rural drinking water safety assurance system from water source to tap.

(b) Basic Principles

Urban-rural integration, large-scale development.
Planning-driven, demonstration-led.
County-wide unified management, dual-use for emergency and routine.
Dual efforts, improved mechanisms.

(c) Main Goals

In 3–5 years, establish a high-quality rural water supply development framework.
By 2035, realize rural water supply modernization.

(d) Key Tasks

1. Develop Provincial High-Quality Rural Water Supply Plans

2. Enhance Rural Water Supply Engineering Systems

Integrate urban and rural water supplies, scale up centralized supply, standardize small-scale supplies.

3. Implement Special Initiatives to Improve Rural Water Quality*

Strengthen water quality testing and monitoring: Integrated urban-rural water supplies and large-scale projects should adopt water quality testing equipment, establish laboratories, or utilize third-party services for comprehensive self-testing.

Intensify inspections of small, centralized, and decentralized rural water supply projects.

For eligible rural water supply projects, encourage the use of online water quality monitoring.

4. Establish and Optimize Long-Term Rural Water Supply Operation and Management Systems

Reinforce digital supervision, remote video monitoring, and “Internet + Supervision.”

Advance the construction of digital twins for rural water supply projects, enhancing digital, networked, and intelligent capabilities.

5. Strengthen Emergency Water Supply Assurance

03 CHALLENGES IN RURAL WATER SUPPLY

1. Widespread Water Source Pollution

Agricultural production, industrial development, and domestic wastewater discharge have polluted many water sources. Fertilizers and pesticides leach into groundwater and surface water, deteriorating water quality.

2. Delayed Infrastructure Development

In many rural areas, water supply equipment is outdated, and supply pipelines are severely damaged, easily causing secondary contamination.

3. Lack of Professional Monitoring

Rural water supply organizations are small, fragmented, and vary in management levels. Some areas lack skilled personnel for water quality testing and treatment, making it challenging to ensure water safety effectively.
