    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] Water is the source of life, it nourishes everything and nurtures life.
    70% of the earth on which we live is covered by water, 97% of which is sea water, and only 3% of fresh water is closely related to our lives.
    And 78% of the fresh water is glacial fresh water, which is difficult to use.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Therefore, the fresh water resources we can use are very limited and are threatened by pollution.
    The increasing demand for agricultural, industrial, and urban water supply has led to a greater shortage of limited fresh water resources.
    Water is the cornerstone of various sustainable development goals.
    People's livelihood and the continuation of civilization are inseparable from water.
    In order to avoid water crises, we must protect water resources.
    Water resources management is imminent.

    Water management is imminent

      Affected by factors such as population growth, pollution and climate change, the pressure of water shortages is increasing.
    According to statistics, in the past 20 years, per capita fresh water supply has decreased by more than 20%.
    Facing the challenge of water shortage, many countries have carried out successful practices to improve water resources management.

     

      According to statistics, as of August 2020, there are a total of 7.
    8 billion people; by 2050, this figure will reach 9.
    7 billion.
    As the population continues to grow, the per capita available fresh water resources continue to decline.
    According to data from the World Resources Institute, the current human water consumption is twice that of 1960.

     

      In addition, the editor learned that my country is one of the countries with serious water shortages.
    The per capita water resources are only 2059.
    2 tons.
    Although the total amount of water resources is relatively large, the per capita amount is not abundant.
    The characteristics of water resources are uneven regional distribution and unbalanced combination of water and soil resources; concentrated distribution during the year with large inter-annual variability; years of continuous high and dry periods are more prominent; and rivers have serious sedimentation.
    These characteristics make my country prone to floods and droughts, and conflicts between water supply and demand.
    This also determines that my country’s tasks for water resources development and utilization and river improvement are very arduous.
    Improving comprehensive water resources management strategies and technologies has become a solution to water resource crises.
    The top priority.

     

      It can be seen that the form of water shortage in China is very severe, coupled with the backward water management methods, which have severely restricted the speed of China's economic development.
    Water resources management is imminent, and related instruments are "showing their talents".
    Do you know which ones?
     
    Instrumentation
      First of all, what we want to talk about is that the water meter in the instrumentation is the "water meter", which plays a big role in the comprehensive management of water resources.

     

      Water shortage, accurate water meter measurement to avoid waste
     
      Water shortage, accurate water meter measurement to avoid waste

      Water meters are instruments for measuring water flow.
    Most of them are cumulative flow measurement of water.
    They are generally divided into volumetric water meters and velocity water meters.
    They originated in the United Kingdom.
    The development of water meters has a history of nearly two hundred years.
    When choosing water meter specifications , You should first estimate the size and flow range of the flow rate used under normal circumstances, and then select the water meter of the type with the commonly used flow rate close to this value as *.

     

      According to a new United Nations report, warming has caused sea levels to rise and threatens the water supply of *3.
    2 billion people.
    In the context of water shortage, water meters accurately measure to avoid waste.
    Therefore, look for a smart water meter that integrates measurement accuracy and intelligence, reform the existing water resource utilization and measurement management methods, and enhance the intelligence of the water industry.
    Achieving the sustainable use of water resources and ensuring the sustainable development of the social economy is an urgent matter at the moment.

     

      Generally speaking, traditional mechanical watches face a state of overtime of service life and gradual inaccuracy of measurement.
    With the development of science and technology and the advent of the Internet of Things era, the Internet of Things smart water meter is a necessary element of the new era of information.
    It can solve the many shortcomings of traditional water meters such as complex installation, high cost, difficult maintenance, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and high error rate.
    Life in the Internet of Things has become easier.
    It uses various mobile platforms to remotely read meters anytime and anywhere, and accurately measure "water" to avoid waste.

     

      Furthermore, we need to know that my country’s water resources and environmental pollution has been very serious.
    According to relevant reports in my country, our country’s main rivers have serious organic pollution and are showing a trend of expanding.
    Water source pollution has become increasingly prominent.
    Water pollution control and monitoring The equipment is coming.

     

      Water pollution control instruments and meters are full

      In order to solve the problem of water pollution, my country has successively formulated policies and regulations such as the "Water Ten Articles", the "Key River Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2016-2020)", and the "National Groundwater Pollution Prevention and Control Plan (2011-2020)" and other policies and regulations.
    Insist on giving priority to water saving, strengthen water resources management, and treat the current state of water pollution to a large extent.

     

      Pollution control, monitoring first.
    In the monitoring of water pollution control, one thing: we can use satellite remote sensing, intelligent sensing and other technologies to develop monitoring robots for the entire water system, focusing on the development of water monitoring drones, sample collection robots, multifunctional water quality monitoring robots, and water Intelligent monitoring equipment such as facility inspection robots can realize the functions of investigation of water source pollution sources, rapid identification of water problems, and water quality early warning and forecast; Secondly: use water quality detectors , gas chromatographs, flow injection instruments, conductivity meters, PH meters and Dissolved oxygen analyzers and other instruments and equipment are used to monitor water pollution.

     
    Detector
      In addition, water quality sampler equipment can promote water pollution prevention and control, which can be divided into water quality manual samplers and water quality automatic samplers.
    The material of the water quality manual sampler must not affect the composition of the water sample, be easy to wash, and must not have any residue on the previous sample.
    To ensure national water safety, water quality samplers promote the prevention and control of water pollution.

     

      Later, the editor would like to say that in addition to related instruments and meters are helping water resources management and protecting water resources, we must also take action to change the traditional concept of water use.
    Make everyone realize that water is precious.
    According to survey data, the water used for each toilet flushing is equivalent to the average daily water consumption of some developing countries; a cool bath in summer is equivalent to dozens of water-scarce countries.
    Personal daily water consumption; if the water is not tightened, the water lost in one night is equivalent to the total daily drinking water of the residents of a village in Africa or Asia in water-scarce areas.

     

      Therefore, protecting water resources is not only a matter of the country, but also a matter of each of us.
    It is everyone's responsibility to appeal to the whole society to save water, use one water for multiple purposes, make full use of circulating water, protect water resources, and prevent pollution.
    We have to start from bit by bit, and instrumentation and equipment are also "showing their talents"!
