Extreme Weather and Heavy Rainfall Leading to Disasters
Due to global warming, extreme weather events have become more frequent in recent years. These events result in concentrated and intense rainfall, significantly increasing the burden on regional drainage systems and urban stormwater sewers. This often leads to flooding, causing damage to citizens' lives and property.
Smart Monitoring for Flood-Prone Areas
Kaohsiung City faces complex flood disaster characteristics, including low-lying coastal areas prone to tidal effects. To address this, the Baozhu Ditch area in the Love River region was selected for the Smart Water Resources Monitoring Dense Network Project. This project involves deploying high-density sensors, integrating monitoring big data, meteorological information, smart flood modeling analysis, dynamic facility operation data, and a dense network platform. The aim is to establish intelligent water management and flood prevention operations to enhance Kaohsiung City's flood response efficiency.
Comprehensive Monitoring with Dense Networks: Smart Disaster Prevention to Protect Lives and Property
Kaohsiung's terrain combines mountains, plains, and low-lying coastal areas, creating complex rainfall runoff patterns. The Water Resources Bureau plans to deploy smart sensors for water levels, flow rates, CCTV monitoring, and road flooding. These sensors provide real-time updates on surface water and stormwater sewer levels. Additionally, detention basins, pumping stations, and floodgates are being integrated into a smart system. The backend system calculates hydrological models to effectively monitor water conditions, serving as a reference for future management and disaster response measures. This approach aims to mitigate the impact of extreme weather while safeguarding citizens' lives and property.
