In 440, determining the amount of rainwater storage during the first period based on the amount of purified rainwater during the first period and the effluent water quality of at least one point in time of the first period.
In some embodiments, the amount of purified rainwater in the first period may include the amount of purified rainwater of a plurality of time intervals of the first period; the determining the amount of rainwater storage during the first period based on the amount of purified water during the first period and the effluent water quality of at least one point in time within the first period may include: determining a first point in time when the water quality meets the preset conditions from the effluent water quality of at least one point in time of the first period as a target point in time; determining the amount of purified rainwater during the first period based on the target point in time and the amount of purified rainwater of the plurality of time intervals.
In some embodiments, the amount of purified rainwater during the first period may include the amount of purified rainwater in a plurality of time intervals of the first period. For example, the first period may be divided into a plurality of time intervals. If the first period is the next 24 hours, the period may be divided into time intervals of every 3 hours.
In some embodiments, the urban public water management platform may determine a first point in time when the water quality meets the preset conditions from the effluent water quality of at least one point in time of the first period as a target point in time. The preset conditions of the water quality may be the requirements on the cleanliness of the rainwater.
In some embodiments, the urban public water management platform may determine the amount of purified rainwater during the first period based on the amount of purified rainwater of a plurality of time intervals and the target point in time. For example, the first period may be divided into 8 time intervals and the urban public water management platform may obtain the amount of purified rainwater in 8 time intervals, and obtain water quality of rainwater at regular intervals. When the effluent water quality of a certain point in time meets the preset conditions, the point in time may be determined as the target point in time, and the amount of purified rainwater at the target point in time may be determined as well.
In 450, determining the rainwater storage plan during the second period based on the amount of rainwater storage during the first period corresponding to the at least one rainwater collection mode.
In some embodiments, the urban public water management platform may determine the rainwater storage plan during the second period based on the amount of rainwater storage during the first period of each area. In some embodiments, the amount of rainwater storage during the first period may be equal to or unequal to the amount of rainwater in the rainwater storage plan during the second period. For example, if the amount of rainwater storage during the first period is greater than the amount of rainwater in the rainwater storage plan during the second period, the excess rainwater storage may be released and the amount of rainwater may be stored according to the plan; if the amount of rainwater storage during the first period is smaller than the amount of rainwater in the rainwater storage plan during the second period, which means that the amount of rainwater storage during the first period does not meet the plan, then the rainwater of the next period needs to be stored, or other measures need to be taken to meet the amount of rainwater storage according to the plan.
Some embodiments of the present disclosure may determine the amount of purified rainwater and the rainwater storage plan through the machine learning model, and perform integrated calculation on the various data, thereby improving the efficiency of data processing.
FIG. 5 is an exemplary flowchart illustrating the determination of water supply plan of a target area according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5 , the flow 500 may include the following operations. In some embodiments, the flow 500 may be performed by the urban public water management platform 220.
In 510, obtaining a rainwater storage plan of a second period of at least one target area from a management platform database based on a water use plan.
The water use plan may refer to the required water consumption of the user within the future period. The target area may refer to the area where the water use plan is implemented. In some embodiments, the urban public water management platform may obtain the water use plan through a service platform, and the service platform may obtain related data of the water use plan through a user platform.
In some embodiments, the rainwater storage plan during the second period may be determined through a management sub-platform. Detailed contents on determining the rainwater storage plan may be referred to in FIG. 4 and the detailed description.
In 520, determining the water supply plan during the second period of the at least one target area based on the obtained water use plan, the rainwater storage plan during the second period of the at least one target area and the significance of the target area.
The significance of the target area may refer to the urgency of the users' water demand in the area. In some embodiments, the significance of the target area may be graded based on the degree of urgency of the users' water demand. For example, the significance of the target area may be divided into level I (generally urgent), II (more urgent), level III (very urgent). For example, the basic water for life of users in area A may be guaranteed, then the significance of the water demand may be level I (generally urgent); area B has been experiencing droughts for years, which leads to a low survival rate for crops, and the residents have a shortage for water in their life, then the significance of their water demand may be level II (more urgent). As the significance of area B is higher, the urban public water management platform may prioritize the water supply plan of area B.
The water supply plan may be a strategy for dispatching water resources based on the water demand of each area. In some embodiments, the water supply plan may include the amount of water delivered to the target area and the delivery time. For example, area A has abundant rainfall and adequate rainwater storage in 2021, while area B has less rainfall in 2021, and the rainwater storage may not be sufficient to meet user's demands, then to meet the user's demand, a management information integrated management platform may dispatch the water resources of the area A to the area B.
In some embodiments, the management information integrated management platform may determine the water supply plan during the second period of at least one target area based on the obtained water use plan, the rainwater storage plan during the second period of the at least one target area, and the significance of the target area.
In some embodiments, the management information integrated management platform may perform comprehensive analysis on the water use plan, the rainwater storage plan, and the significance of the target area. For example, the management information integrated management platform may determine whether the water supply of the area A is sufficient based on the rainwater storage plan and the water use plan of the area A. If the rainwater storage plan in the area A is greater than the water use plan, then the water resources are sufficient. For another example, the management information integrated management platform may determine the water supply plan by comparing the relevant data of area A and area B. If the water resources in the area A are sufficient and the area is dominated by residential water use, while the rainfall in the area B is insufficient, and the area includes a large amount of industrial consumption, then the water supply plan may give priority to the water demand of the area B, or to dispatch water resources in the area A to the area B.
In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the urban public water management platform may perform data processing through sub-platforms to release the pressure of data processing and calculation, thereby realizing data classification; and determine the water supply plans of the various areas through comprehensive analysis of the water plan, rainwater storage plan, and significances of various areas, which helps to distribute water resources accurately, thereby realizing the reasonable use of water resources.
