New tool in flood control

The Songjiang District government is testing a newly completed rainwater drainage monitoring system that will help authorities cope with the annual flood season.

The system was built to open and shut floodgates within three minutes of a command being sent.

It will replace the existing system that required personnel to visit each gate site, assess the situation and operate gates from electric control boxes.

Rongping Drainage Co installed the new monitoring system to cover 12 sites where flooding is most common, including the intersections of Wencheng and Renmin roads, and Meinengda Road and New Husong Highway.

Cameras installed at the sites will monitor water levels and send the data back to central control.
