Building Flood-Resilience Through Training: Preparations Underway for the Flood Season — A Hydrological Station in Fujian Province Conducts a 2026 Emergency Hydrological Monitoring Drill!
2026-04-30
In March 2026, a hydrological station in Fujian Province conducted an emergency response drill for hydrological monitoring, aiming to strengthen preparedness through practice and enhance combat readiness through simulation. The exercise was designed to effectively improve the station’s capacity to provide emergency hydrological monitoring support during the flood season and to solidify the region’s baseline defense against water-related risks. With the flood season approaching and extreme weather events becoming increasingly frequent, the continuity and accuracy of hydrological monitoring data are directly critical for flood-control dispatching, water-resource management, and water-safety decision-making. This drill is therefore of significant practical importance in verifying equipment performance, optimizing emergency response procedures, and enhancing the reliability of monitoring under unexpected circumstances.

This exercise focuses on core monitoring parameters such as flow measurement, water level, and water quality, conducting end-to-end operational verification. By alternating between multiple instruments and performing synchronous cross-checks using multiple methods, the approach enhances measurement redundancy, thereby ensuring uninterrupted monitoring, continuous data streams, and verifiable results even under extreme operating conditions.

Fujian Aotai Automation Equipment Co., Ltd. participated in this exercise with its cableway-mounted ultrasonic current meter. Based on the ultrasonic Doppler measurement principle, the device can accurately capture even the slightest variations in hydrological flow velocity; it features wireless charging, full potting encapsulation, and a stainless-steel housing, supporting wireless through-water transmission, enabling shore-based terminals to receive measurement data in real time.

During the drill, the Austar cableway-mounted electronic current meter operated stably and delivered precise flow measurements, effectively complementing and cross-validating data from other monitoring instruments. This provided reliable technical support for emergency monitoring and fully demonstrated the superior performance and robust operational capabilities of advanced hydrological equipment in real-world scenarios.
