Smart water conservancy refers to the use of modern information technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and other technological means to manage water resources efficiently and intelligently. The application of digital twin technology in smart water conservancy construction can create an enhanced irrigation district management model that can simulate and understand hydrological, engineering, agricultural, and socio-economic activities within the irrigation district in real time.

Introduction of Digital Twin Irrigation District:

Digital Twin Irrigation District refers to the construction of digital twins for actual irrigation districts with the help of Digital Twin technology, in order to achieve real-time monitoring and optimized management of the irrigation district's water system, water supply facilities, and water use for farmland. In modern irrigation management, this technology can greatly improve the allocation efficiency of water resources, safeguard the water supply of arable land and cope with the impact of climate change.

Industry pain points:

Water management efficiency: facing the problem of uneven allocation and inefficient utilization of irrigation water resources.

Flood control and disaster mitigation capacity: frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, irrigation districts need to improve flood and drought control capacity.

Environmental protection pressure: a balance needs to be found between water conservancy construction and environmental protection.

Operating Costs: Improve the automation and intelligence of irrigation district management and reduce labor costs.

Data integration and application: it is difficult to integrate and utilize a large amount of hydrological, meteorological and agricultural data.

Some functions:

Water resources simulation and optimization: simulate hydrological cycle and irrigation demand, optimize water resources allocation and scheduling strategy.

Environmental monitoring and assessment: real-time monitoring of water quality, water quantity and soil moisture in the irrigation area, assessing environmental conditions and adjusting management measures in a timely manner.

Flood and drought control planning: Simulate the flow of water in the irrigation area under different climate scenarios to develop effective flood and drought control strategies.

Automated control system: Automatically regulates the operation of key facilities such as gates and pumping stations in the irrigation system to realize precise irrigation.

Decision-making system: integrates water resources data to provide scientific decision-making support and help managers make more rational decisions.

Digital twin irrigation district combined with the application of modern information technology can not only enhance the ability of flood control and disaster mitigation, but also realize the sustainable use of resources and ecological protection, so as to achieve the goal of intelligent water conservancy construction.
