The Zaodu Reservoir in Chongqing is a major national water conservancy project. Once completed, it will significantly enhance flood control capabilities for the city of Qijiang and the surrounding towns, raising the flood protection standard in Qijiang from once-in-20-years to once-in-50-years. The reservoir will provide water security for 3.43 million people and irrigate over 230,000 acres of land.

To efficiently manage this large-scale water conservancy project, the CCCC team has utilized Internet of Things (IoT) technology to build a digital twin platform. This platform creates a smart application system that covers the entire lifecycle of the reservoir, greatly improving project construction efficiency and management quality.

The digital twin platform serves as a decision-making tool for management activities during construction. By using the water and rainfall forecasting system, the team can plan work ahead of time. Additionally, the system offers early warnings for rare and extreme flood events, maximizing the protection of both personnel and property.
