What does the topic of "smart water" that I have often seen in the past two years mean?

Smart water affairs refers to the intelligent management of water supply, drainage, water saving, sewage treatment, flood control and other water links by using technologies such as Internet of Things, intelligent sensing, cloud computing and big data. This paper will analyze the demand of intelligent water affairs from the perspective of the necessity of developing intelligent water affairs.

In recent years, China's water industry has maintained rapid development, and the scale of water supply and drainage has gradually expanded. With the gradual expansion of the scale of water supply and drainage in China, the scale of China's water industry market has grown steadily. For example, the leakage rate of water supply network in China is still at a high level.

1, the scale of water affairs is gradually expanding.

This paper will analyze the demand of intelligent water affairs from the perspective of the necessity of developing intelligent water affairs.

In recent years, China's water industry has maintained rapid development, and the scale of water supply and drainage has gradually expanded. From 20 12 to 20 19, the length of water supply pipeline and water supply penetration rate in China increased year by year. In 20 19, the length of urban water supply pipelines in China reached 92.0 1 10,000 kilometers, and the water supply penetration rate reached 98.78%.

On the other hand, in recent years, the length of urban drainage pipes in China is also accelerating. In 20 19, the number of urban drainage pipelines in China increased to 744,000 kilometers, up 8.85% year-on-year. From 2009 to 2065438+09, the average growth rate of urban drainage pipeline length in China was 8.04%, and it is estimated that the length of urban drainage pipeline in China will be about 803,800 kilometers in 2020.

With the gradual expansion of the scale of water supply and drainage in China, the scale of China's water industry market has grown steadily. In 20 12 years, the operating income of enterprises above designated size in China water industry was only126.9 billion yuan; By 20 19, enterprises above designated size will realize operating income of 3 175 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19%. Looking ahead, with the growth rate of 15%, it is estimated that the operating income of enterprises above designated size in the water industry will be about 365 1. 1 100 million yuan in 2020.

2. The leakage of water supply network is still at a high level.

While the scale of China water industry market is expanding, there are still some pain points in China water industry. For example, the leakage rate of water supply network in China is still at a high level. From 20 12 to 20 18, the leakage rate of urban water supply network in China decreased from 16.7 1% to 14.62%. In 20 19, the leakage rate of water supply network in China rose slightly to 16.99%.

3. Traditional water enterprises still need smart water business to support water supply and drainage management.

With the transformation of economic structure and the strong promotion of new urbanization, traditional water enterprises are increasingly unable to meet the higher requirements of China residents' environmental awareness and consumption level to improve their quality of life and environmental quality, and it is difficult to maintain a leading position in the market. The reasons are mainly summarized as four major pain points.
