Yellow River Conservancy Commission
Yellow River Conservancy Commission modernizes water monitoring with AVEVA solutions
The Yellow River Conservancy Commission chose AVEVA System Platform and AVEVA InTouch HMI to build a large-scale operating system covering a 700-kilometer area, including a central database, real-time information transfer, and distributed processing and decision support as part of its industrial monitoring. The exceptional scale of the installation, stretching over several thousand kilometers, posed a major challenge in terms of coordination and data centralization. With AVEVA solutions, the Commission was operational in just three months, demonstrating the platform's speed of deployment and robustness. This modernized system now enables unified monitoring of the river, supports distributed decision-making and secures the management of a water resource essential to China.

FAQ
How does AVEVA manage a hydraulic system spanning 700 km?
AVEVA System Platform and InTouch HMI cover a 700 km area for the Yellow River Conservancy Commission. The platform integrates a central database, real-time information transfer, and distributed processing and decision support. This architecture supports hydraulic infrastructure spanning several thousand kilometers, one of the largest industrial supervision deployments in the water sector. AVEVA's ability to scale across such large geographic footprints is a key factor for operators of major water resources.
Why can an AVEVA deployment be up and running in just three months?
The Yellow River Conservancy Commission became operational in just three months after choosing AVEVA System Platform and InTouch HMI. This speed is due to the platform's object-oriented approach: standardized templates are reused across stations, drastically reducing development time. For critical infrastructure supplying 100 million people, this deployment agility is strategic for responding to environmental emergencies (droughts, floods) without a multi-year project.
How does distributed decision support strengthen river management?
AVEVA System Platform provides distributed decision support across the entire Yellow River basin. Staff securely share information over the internet, wherever they are located along the river. This smart distribution speeds up coordination between stations, streamlines crisis management and democratizes access to operational data. Combining centralized analytics with distributed decision-making is a relevant model for water authorities managing large river basins.
How does AVEVA help forecast and anticipate floods?
AVEVA System Platform collects water levels, flow rates and weather conditions in real time across the entire Yellow River basin. The Commission's teams use this data to forecast floods and build proactive models of their progression. This foresight makes it possible to evacuate at-risk areas, coordinate upstream dams and protect the population. For a river serving 100 million people in nine Chinese provinces, it is a vital service backed by a robust industrial monitoring platform.
What benefits does unified monitoring bring to the management of a critical water resource?
With AVEVA, the Yellow River Conservancy Commission effectively regulates water volumes, prevents flow stoppages, especially during droughts, and secures the water supply for 100 million people in nine Chinese provinces. The unified platform strengthens resilience to climate hazards, optimizes allocation between uses (drinking water, agriculture, industry) and builds a usable knowledge base for future management policies. It is a textbook case of industrial monitoring serving a major geostrategic challenge.
