How Wonderware helps harness the Yellow River

The objective of the project was to create a large-scale operating system including a central database, real-time information transference and processing, and decision support distributed over 700 kilometers of The Yellow River. It had to effectively regulate water quantity and prevent flow stoppages, particularly during droughts. It was also designed to help Commission staff forecast floods and create proactive flood progressing models.


“I believe that with the expansion of this system, we can make the Yellow River more beautiful and younger, and bring more benefit to Chinese people along the Yellow River.”
