Waterlogging refers to the phenomenon in urban areas that due to heavy rainfall and failure or insufficient drainage systems, large amounts of rainfall cannot be discharged in time and accumulate on the ground. Waterlogging not only brings troubles to the urban environment and residents' lives, but also causes serious harm to social economy, transportation and residents' safety.
The impact of waterlogging
1. Waterlogging will cause pollution and damage to the urban environment. Stagnant water may be mixed with various garbage, waste and sewage, forming "black and smelly water bodies" and causing serious pollution to the environment. At the same time, stagnant water may also erode soil, wash away roads and buildings, lead to damage to infrastructure and the occurrence of geological disasters, adding difficulty and cost to the recovery and repair of the urban environment.
2. Waterlogging brings huge losses to the social economy. Waterlogging has made streets impassable and severely affected commercial and industrial areas and other places of economic activity, causing businesses to be unable to operate normally and factories to be unable to produce normally, bringing severe paralysis to the entire economic system of Changhua, Fujian. Especially when water accumulation is severe, the transportation system will also be severely hindered, leading to traffic jams and delays in cargo transportation, causing major troubles to logistics and urban operations.
3. Waterlogging has posed a serious threat to residents’ lives and safety. Covered by waterlogging and stagnant water, it is difficult for people to travel normally, unable to go to important places such as work, school, and hospitals, and they may even be trapped at home. In addition, because waterlogging usually carries a large amount of garbage and sewage, it poses serious challenges to water quality and sanitation conditions, and can easily lead to the spread of infectious diseases. For the elderly, children and vulnerable groups, their safety and quality of life are even more vulnerable in the face of waterlogging disasters.
To sum up, the harm caused by waterlogging to cities cannot be underestimated. It destroys the urban environment, leads to water pollution and damage to infrastructure; causes huge losses to the social economy, paralyzes economic activities and transportation systems; and poses a serious threat to residents' lives and safety. Therefore, strengthening the monitoring of urban waterlogging, improving the emergency early warning mechanism, and improving residents' awareness of disaster prevention are important measures to reduce the hazards of waterlogging. Only through the efforts and joint cooperation of the whole society can we effectively deal with the problem of waterlogging and ensure the normal operation of the city and the safety of residents.
Wanbin Technology uses new generation information technologies such as AIoT, big data, mobile Internet and industrial Internet to integrate relevant data from various departments such as housing construction, municipal administration, water conservancy and ecological environment, and target key drainage households, key nodes of drainage facilities, and easy-to-use Intelligent monitoring instruments are deployed at waterlogging points, rivers and lakes, etc. to provide intelligent analysis and simulation predictions of urban drainage system operations, special flood prevention equipment and intelligent dispatch of emergency supplies for urban waterlogging, and establish a coverage of "source-network-station-factory-river" The integrated urban waterlogging and waterlogging monitoring system meets the functional needs of daily management, operation scheduling, disaster prediction, early warning and forecasting, flood control scheduling, emergency rescue and other functional needs. The drainage and waterlogging prevention capabilities match the requirements for building sponge cities and resilient cities, ensuring the lifeline of the city. The safe operation of projects and other important municipal infrastructure will improve the operational efficiency of urban drainage systems and flood control and drainage management capabilities, and help improve the living environment.
