According to the Ministry of Water Resources on the 16th, the Ministry of Water Resources and the National Development and Reform Commission recently officially issued the "Implementation Plan for Major Agricultural Water-Saving and Water Supply Projects during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period", which clearly stated that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, priority will be given to promoting the implementation of 30 newly built large-scale irrigation areas included in the construction scope of 150 major water conservancy projects determined by the State Council, and 124 existing large-scale irrigation areas will be selected for continued construction and modernization. The central budget investment will be actively supported, and at the same time, local governments are required to coordinate and increase financial support, innovate investment and financing systems and mechanisms, and raise funds through multiple channels to ensure that construction funds are in place in a timely and sufficient manner. After the implementation of the plan, it is estimated that the newly built large-scale irrigation areas can add 15 million mu of effective irrigation area and improve 9.8 million mu of irrigation area.

The "Implementation Plan for Major Agricultural Water-Saving and Water Supply Projects during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period" proposes the construction of irrigation district informatization as the top priority of the irrigation district construction content!

The information construction of irrigation areas focuses on existing water resources, water ecology, water disasters and other issues in irrigation areas, realizes intelligent perception, automatic control, intelligent monitoring and intelligent management, further improves the level of modern management of irrigation areas, and promotes the development of modern agriculture in irrigation areas.

Intelligent perception system construction

The construction of intelligent perception network is mainly based on IoT perception, aviation perception and video perception. It mainly includes rainfall, water conditions, construction conditions, soil moisture conditions, water quality, engineering safety monitoring, and information required by the smart water management system. The layout of information collection should cover the entire process of information flow and form a closed loop to build an IoT perception network covering the entire area.

Communication network construction

In order to ensure the real-time monitoring capability and data transmission efficiency of the entire irrigation canal project, and to support the normal collection and transmission of canal flood control, water environment protection, and water resource allocation information, it is necessary to build an efficient and stable transmission network. In the irrigation project communication solution, the data collected from each monitoring point is transmitted to the data backup center using the "dual deployment" mode of wired + wireless flexible deployment to realize the local storage + cloud storage function of information disaster recovery instruments.
