Field Tests Verify Efficiency Upgrades! Huace Navigation's Intelligent Solutions Safeguard Xinjiang's Irrigation Lifeline

The spatiotemporal distribution of water resources in Xinjiang is uneven, and the scientific scheduling of irrigation water is directly related to agricultural production and regional water security. Hydrological measurement data serve as the core prerequisite for achieving efficient scheduling. At hydrological station measurement sections and dry channel patrol sites in many parts of Xinjiang, Huace Navigation's HuaWei 4 Lite unmanned boat, equipped with the RS3600D multi-frequency ADCP, has implemented an intelligent hydrological measurement solution. This solution has rewritten traditional working modes with solid field measurement results, providing reliable support for irrigation management.

Previously, hydrological measurements related to irrigation in Xinjiang long faced challenges such as cumbersome preparation and excessive reliance on multi-person collaboration. Particularly in special areas like shallow water zones along the shore and deep water zones without cableways, it was difficult to balance measurement efficiency and data accuracy. However, after the implementation of Huace Navigation's intelligent solution, this situation has been reversed. From the actual measurement results, in single measurement cycles at hydrological station sections, the system measured an average flow rate of 46.376 m³/s with an internal consistency precision of 1.5%, which was highly consistent with previous measurement data, maintaining data continuity and reliability. In dry channel patrol section measurements, the internal consistency precision of single measurement cycle flow data reached 0.5%. Even in deep water zones without cableways, the measurement tasks could be successfully completed, addressing the pain points of deep water zone measurements in the past.

Behind these achievements lies the targeted design of the complete equipment. The RS3600D ADCP is equipped with an ultra-high carrier frequency of 3600 kHz. It can steadily collect data even in extremely shallow nearshore waters with a depth of less than 30 centimeters, fully generating water depth and velocity profiles in shallow areas and filling the gap of traditional equipment for surveys in shallow waters. Meanwhile, the lightweight design of the Huahui No.4 Lite unmanned vessel stands out remarkably. With a length of only 1 meter and a weight of 5 kilograms, paired with the 2-kilogram RS3600D ADCP, the whole set of equipment can be installed and deployed by a single person within two minutes. After storage, it can be easily placed in the trunk of a sedan, truly enabling independent operation by one person and transforming the previous survey mode that required coordination among multiple personnel.

During field operations, this solution is highly compatible with the operating habits of hydrologists. During surveys, the unmanned vessel can sail straight at low speeds along preset routes, and ADCP flow measurement data is transmitted to the remote control terminal in real time, allowing staff to keep track of survey progress at all times. Upon arriving at designated waypoints, the unmanned vessel can automatically hover on station to ensure stable data collection. Once the survey is completed, data playback, configuration and result output can be carried out on site. There is no need to carry extra complicated equipment for subsequent processing, shortening the operation cycle. The unmanned vessel can flexibly adapt to efficiently complete flow measurement tasks, whether at open survey sections of hydrological stations or regular dry canal flow measurement sites.

For Xinjiang, an arid region with scarce rainfall, the efficient utilization of every drop of water is critical. The intelligent hydrological survey solution from CHC Navigation improves survey efficiency and enhances data accuracy while guaranteeing operational safety, providing data support for irrigation water allocation.
