Urban Waterlogging Solutions: Intelligent Flood Control for Safeguarding People's Livelihoods

I. The Pain of Urban Waterlogging

In recent years, the issue of urban waterlogging has become increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to the safety of life and property for city residents. According to a report by *CCTV News*, Baise City in Guangxi experienced historically rare persistent heavy rainfall from October 2nd to 5th, 2025. Affected by the combined impact of three consecutive typhoons, over 360 locations across the city suffered severe waterlogging within just a few hours, primarily concentrated in Jingxi, Debao, Tianyang, and other areas. Among these, Dajia Street in Xinjia Township and Dajin Village in Jingxi City were the most severely affected, with water depth exceeding 4 meters on some road sections.

The pain points of urban water accumulation are significant. On one hand, it causes disastrous consequences for transportation. Road flooding leads to difficult vehicle movement, frequent traffic accidents, and public transport delays, causing great inconvenience to daily commutes. On the other hand, it inflicts serious damage to urban infrastructure. Prolonged water immersion can lead to road collapse, damage to underground pipelines, and increased subsequent maintenance costs. More critically, floodwater can backflow into homes, shopping malls, underground parking lots, and other spaces, causing substantial property losses and even endangering residents' lives.

II. Shidian Technology's Urban Waterlogging Solution

Facing the severe challenge of urban waterlogging, Shidian Technology leverages its advanced technology and extensive industry experience to offer a comprehensive and efficient urban waterlogging solution.

1. Precise Monitoring, Real-time Warning: Strategically deploy Shidian Technology's self-developed water level monitors along major urban roads. These monitors feature high-precision water level sensing capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring of road water accumulation. Once the water level reaches a pre-set warning threshold, the monitor promptly sends an alert signal to the management platform. Simultaneously, the system automatically notifies relevant municipal units to facilitate timely countermeasures, such as road closures, preventing vehicles and pedestrians from entering hazardous areas.

2. Intelligent Control, Rapid Drainage: Upon receiving the warning, the platform can remotely control the opening of manhole covers. Through this intelligent operation, rainwater can quickly flow into the underground drainage system, effectively alleviating road water pressure. In cases where municipal units cannot promptly respond to remote control commands due to special circumstances, the control box can be manually opened after the road is blocked. This manual/automatic switching design ensures rapid initiation of drainage measures under various complex conditions.

3. Safety Warning, Ensuring Passage: Once the manhole cover is opened, warning lights installed around its perimeter immediately activate, providing audible and visual alerts. This effectively warns passing vehicles and pedestrians to ensure safety and prevent accidents. This considerate design maximizes road traffic safety while ensuring drainage efficiency.

Shidian Technology's urban waterlogging solution forms a complete and efficient system, from monitoring and warning to drainage control and safety alerts. By empowering cities with technology, it provides robust support for tackling waterlogging, helping enhance urban drainage and flood prevention capabilities, safeguarding the life and property of citizens, and ensuring the normal operation of the city.
