Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of water quality monitoring, and in particular relates to a system and method for safety monitoring of drainage waters of a chemical plant. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the national economy, environmental protection has become increasingly important. The drainage of the chemical industry may have an impact on the surrounding waters. How to comprehensively and efficiently monitor water quality and prevent water pollution accidents has become a major issue facing the sustainable development of the social economy.

[0003] The existing water quality monitoring method is to set up detection sensors and corresponding ground data collection stations at monitoring points in relevant waters. The ground data collection stations will wirelessly transmit the collected water quality information to a remote monitoring center. Due to the large area of ​​the water area, multiple ground data collection stations are usually set up. Once the corresponding detection sensors are set up, they cannot be easily moved, resulting in an increase in monitoring costs. At the same time, once the water quality monitoring system is deployed, the corresponding monitoring area is also fixed, making it difficult for monitoring personnel to obtain water quality information in other areas, resulting in incomplete water quality data. Summary of the invention
