Design of a Dynamic Data Acquisition and Internet Network Based Transmission System for Reservoir Water Level

The traditional reservoir water level monitoring system utilizes the sensors placed in the water has drawbacks of: 1) high possibility of water seepage; 2) short life cycle; 3) difficulty to achieve real-time monitoring; and 4) not easy to maintain. This paper presents a design of water level measurement sensor which relies on mechanical transmission tracking method. Since there is no need to place the sensor into the water, the life cycle is improved. Furthermore, by remote data transmission over the internet network, A real-time monitoring of the water level can be achieved, and thus significantly improve the overall management efficiency of reservoir resource utilization.
