Study on the Eco-Environmental Monitoring System of the Three Gorges Project in the Context of the Internet of Things

Abstract:

The Three Gorge Project (TGP) is one of the largest hydraulic projects in the world, because of its super-huge style and complex function, the TGP exerts far-reaching and profound impacts. As while as beneficial effects, the TGP also brings bad influences. The main negative environmental influences of TGP are the impacts on the aquatic life, the estuary, the water blooms, the greenhouse gases and the relationships between the lakes and the Yangtze River. As the TGP has distinct features of temporal and spatial variation, it is important to monitoring the influences water resources in timely. In order to give the negative influence effective control, This paper mainly introduces eco-environmental monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). The system watches and grasps the change of the eco-environmental factors affected by TGP, especially those major environmental factors and seriously affected areas. It provides scientific basis for the ecological impacts caused by the TGP. The Three Gorges monitoring system based on the IoT is of great significance.
