To enhance public service efficiency, the installation of surveillance equipment has become indispensable for the government. In order to improve the management of agricultural channels, this office has further explored the use of real-time imaging equipment in agricultural services. Establishing a surveillance imaging system is a necessary response to current trends, utilizing real-time data transmission and technological management as fundamental tools to support this office's operations.
To improve the efficiency of channel management, this office analyzed the characteristics of various industries and ultimately selected cable TV companies due to their high-density network infrastructure, which mirrors the complexity of our water network. Since 2015, we have actively pursued cooperation with local cable TV operators, selecting 250 key canal gates for the installation of surveillance cameras. The implementation was carried out in two phases over several years, with workstation personnel choosing locations based on the importance of the gates. The cable TV companies provided surveillance management platforms and on-site equipment maintenance services, playing a crucial role in channel management and enhancing agricultural production.
- The system improves workstation personnel's ability to monitor irrigation water levels, optimizing water allocation during the busy spring farming season or drought and rotational irrigation periods.
- During flood prevention periods, the system ensures accurate monitoring of gate opening and closing statuses, improving the reliability of gate control.
- The system reinforces gate management during typhoons, improving accuracy in preparedness and mitigation of natural hazards.
- It allows for rapid gate adjustments and real-time water flow management.
- The system increases the efficiency of personnel in clearing debris from trash racks at channel gates, reducing the risk of culvert blockages and contributing to disaster prevention and mitigation. It also minimizes water transmission losses, providing more water resources to areas facing shortages.
- The system enhances management of desilting hotspots, improving responses to public complaints and meeting societal expectations.
