Open Source for a Digital Water Ecosystem: Qiantong Tech's Smart Water Projects Are Now Live on Gitee

As smart water conservancy initiatives deepen, the industry is shifting from traditional information management to a model of digital, intelligent collaboration.

This transition has created a growing demand for reusable technical components, standardized business capabilities, and an open, collaborative ecosystem.

Building on years of technical expertise and project experience in the smart water sector, Qiantong Technology is officially open-sourcing key digital water application on the Gitee platform.

Our goal is to collaborate with developers and water conservancy experts to explore a more open and efficient model for building smart water solutions.

The two open-source projects now available are:

  • Modern Reservoir Operation and Management Matrix Platform
  • Water Conservancy "One Map" Platform

These projects focus on two core areas—reservoir operation management and spatial business applications—and encapsulate reusable software architectures and business practices to serve as a reference for digital water system development.


Why Open Source?

Digital transformation in the water industry is complex, with high professional requirements and diverse application scenarios.

While specific needs vary by region and organization, there is significant commonality in foundational capabilities, such as:

  • Engineering operation status management
  • Spatial visualization of water objects
  • Multi-source data fusion
  • Business information querying
  • Comprehensive situation analysis

By open-sourcing these proven foundational capabilities, we aim to help developers and industry partners reduce redundant development efforts and focus their energy on business innovation and application deepening.

Qiantong Technology hopes that through open source, we can make technology more transparent, share practical experience, and foster greater collaboration in digital water construction.


Project 1: Modern Reservoir Operation and Management Matrix Platform

This platform is designed for reservoir operation scenarios, building digital management capabilities for engineering operations.

As a critical part of the water conservancy system, reservoirs play vital roles in flood control, water supply, irrigation, and ecology.

Traditional management methods relying on manual inspections and scattered records are increasingly unable to meet the needs of refined operation and management.

The Modern Reservoir Operation and Management Matrix Platform unifies engineering basic information, operation monitoring data, and management business processes to help build a more systematic digital management system for reservoirs.

Key capabilities include:

  • Reservoir Basic Information Management: Establishes a unified data management system for reservoir engineering objects, supporting the centralized management of basic reservoir information, engineering facility data, management unit details, and related business materials.

  • Comprehensive Operation Status Display: Aggregates reservoir operation data for a unified view of the engineering status, including water level information, storage capacity changes, operational status, and monitoring data.

  • Matrix-based Business Management Model: Aligning with modern reservoir management requirements, the platform organizes different management objects, business tasks, and operational indicators.

This matrix approach enables traceable engineering objects, manageable business items, and analyzable operational status.


Project 2: Water Conservancy "One Map" Platform

Built on spatial information, this platform creates a unified visual entry point for water conservancy operations. Water conservancy work is inherently spatial.

Rivers, reservoirs, dikes, sluices, and monitoring stations are distributed across different regions, and traditional systems often suffer from fragmented data and disjointed displays.

The Water Conservancy "One Map" Platform uses GIS capabilities to map various water objects and business data onto a unified map, enabling visual management of water resources.

The platform provides:

  • Spatial Display of Water Objects: Supports map-based visualization of different water objects, including rivers, reservoirs, dikes, sluices, pumping stations, and monitoring stations, helping users quickly grasp the distribution of regional water resources.

  • Multi-source Data Fusion and Display: The platform integrates business data with spatial information. For example, clicking on a water intake monitoring point on the map reveals corresponding engineering information, real-time monitoring data, management details, and historical records.

  • Extensibility for Business Applications: More than just a display tool, the "One Map" serves as a foundational capability for business applications. By offering open map services and component capabilities, it can further support flood control situation analysis, engineering inspection management, water resource supervision, and comprehensive business displays.


Open Source Project Positioning: Opening Foundational Capabilities to Serve Industry Practice

These two projects are not simple copies of a complete commercial system but an opening of technical capabilities refined through project practice. We hope developers can use these projects to:

  • Learn about digital water system construction approaches
  • Understand the digital implementation of water conservancy business
  • Explore more industry application scenarios

We also welcome water conservancy experts and the developer community to participate in project construction, offering suggestions for technical optimization and business improvement.


About the Projects

The Modern Reservoir Operation and Management Matrix Platform and the Water Conservancy "One Map" Platform are now live on Gitee. Developers and water industry partners are welcome to follow the projects and exchange ideas on digital water technology practices.

Open source is not an end point, but a way of continuous communication and co-construction.

We hope to work with industry partners to promote the accumulation and innovation of digital water capabilities through open technology practices, enabling more reliable and reusable technical capabilities to serve smart water conservancy construction.
