Ground water quality monitoring system is a facility designed for real-time monitoring of groundwater quality, typically deployed within pre-installed monitoring wells. Its primary function is to conduct continuous in-situ monitoring and data collection of groundwater level and quality parameters. This enables the timely tracking of changes in water level and quality, providing a scientific basis for the protection and management of groundwater resources.
I. Main Components
1. Sensor System:
Basic Parameter Sensors: water level, temperature, Atmospheric pressure, pH, conductivity, etc.
Inorganic parameters: Dissolved oxygen, ORP (Oxidation-Reduction Potential), turbidity, salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), ammonia nitrogen, nitrate, chloride ions, etc.
Organic Matter Sensors: Chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil in water (OIW), etc.
2. Data Acquisition and Transmission System:
Data Logger: Responsible for collecting sensor data and performing preliminary processing.
Communication Module: Transmits data to the data center via wired or wireless methods (e.g., 4G, 5G).
3. Power Supply System:
Battery Power Supply: Typically equipped with high-capacity batteries to ensure long-term system operation and facilitate battery replacement.
Solar Power Supply:Usually includes solar panels, a power management unit, and batteries.
4. Data Processing and Storage System:
Local Storage: Used for temporary data storage to prevent data loss during network interruptions.
Remote Data Center: Used for long-term data storage and analysis.
II. Main Functions
1. Real-Time Monitoring:
Continuously monitors water quality parameters to promptly detect abnormal conditions.
2. Data Storage and Analysis:
Stores historical data for trend analysis and early warning.
3. Early Warning and Alarm:
Automatically issues warnings or alerts when water quality parameters exceed preset thresholds.
Micro water quality monitoring stations play a crucial role in water environmental protection and resource management. Through real-time monitoring and data analysis, they effectively prevent and respond to water pollution incidents, ensuring the sustainable utilization of water resources.
