However, the traditional monitoring stations are not suitable for high quality development of water conservancy informatization. It is urgent to integrate a new generation of information technology such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, and AI with the help of an integrated platform of intelligent monitoring to achieve data collection, data analysis, intelligent judgment and other functions.Finally, it is helpful for Jiangxi province to build a smart water system with the functions of forecasting, early warning,rehearsal and emergency planning to improve the scientific decision-making and service efficiency．
