The total amount of water resources in my country is 2.8 trillion cubic meters. Among them, surface water is 2.7 trillion cubic meters and groundwater is 0.83 trillion cubic meters. The total amount of water resources ranks sixth in the world, with a per capita occupation of 2,240 cubic meters, ranking 88th among 153 countries continuously counted by the World Bank. The current situation of my country's water resources has problems such as total shortage, low per capita possession, uneven regional distribution, mismatch of water and soil resources, increasing water pollution, and prominent urban water shortages. The acceleration of urbanization and the development of regional economy have increased the load of local water resources and also aggravated the pollution of urban groundwater. Many cities have experienced problems such as eutrophication and excessive iron and manganese in groundwater. The problem of water pollution has become one of the important restricting factors in my country's economic and social development, and has attracted great attention from the state and local governments. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, my country has set the goal of reducing energy consumption per unit of GDP by 4% per year and 20% in five years; major pollutant emissions, including sulfur dioxide and chemical oxygen demand, will be reduced by 10% within five years. the goal. In the prevention and control of water pollution, water quality monitoring is an important means for early warning of pollution, continuous monitoring of pollutants, and evaluation of treatment effects, and it has received the attention of relevant departments. As a continuous monitoring tool, water quality online monitoring instruments bear the responsibility of providing accurate monitoring data and monitoring reports, and are playing an increasingly important role in environmental monitoring.

1. Industry development overview

Traditional environmental water quality monitoring work is mainly based on manual on-site sampling and laboratory instrumental analysis. Although the analytical methods in the laboratory are complete, the laboratory monitoring has defects such as low monitoring frequency, large sampling errors, scattered monitoring data, and inability to reflect changes in pollution in a timely manner. It is difficult to meet the needs of the government and enterprises for effective water environment management. Look at the development trend of environmental monitoring and advanced international experience. On-line automatic monitoring of water quality has become an effective means for relevant departments to obtain continuous monitoring data in a timely manner. After only a few minutes of data collection, the water quality information of the water source can be sent to the server of the Environmental Analysis Center. Once an abnormal change in the concentration of a certain pollutant is observed, the environmental supervision department can immediately take corresponding measures and take samples for specific analysis. It can be seen that the advantage of the water quality online analysis system is that it can quickly and accurately obtain water quality monitoring data, and the application of the automatic water quality monitoring system. It is helpful for the environmental protection department to establish a large-scale monitoring network to collect monitoring data to determine the pollution status and development trend of the target area. With the development of monitoring technology and the instrumentation industry, environmental water quality monitoring has begun to develop in the direction of automation, intelligence and network-based monitoring.

Throughout the construction of my country's environmental water quality online monitoring system, after years of development, a continuous automatic environmental monitoring management and technical system with Chinese characteristics has been initially established, and a network has gradually formed.

2. Online monitoring market for surface water quality

According to statistics from the 2009 Environmental Status Bulletin, the seven major water systems of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, Pearl River, Songhua River, Huaihe River, Haihe River and Liaohe River are generally lightly polluted. Among the 408 state-controlled monitoring sections of surface water in 203 rivers, the proportions of sections with Grade I to III, Grade IV to V and worse than Grade V are 57.30%, 24.30%, and 18.40%, respectively. The main pollution indicators are permanganate index, five-day biochemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen. Among them, the Pearl River and the Yangtze River are of good water quality, the Songhua River and the Huaihe River are slightly polluted, the Yellow River and the Liaohe River are moderately polluted, and the Haihe River is heavily polluted.

Zheng Yisheng, deputy director of the Environmental and Development Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that the various water environment quality inspection reports issued by China, due to the limitation of the number of locations and the locations of the locations, “cannot fully and truly reflect the current situation of domestic water pollution”. At present, the water quality monitoring sections set up by the State Environmental Protection Administration are basically distributed in major rivers or main streams of major rivers with relatively abundant water and relatively strict supervision. The monitoring of tributaries is almost a blank area. In small towns and large rural areas, the actual sewage discharge and the degree of pollution of tributaries and inland rivers are likely to be more serious than the currently published figures. The current status of water quality monitoring reveals the severity of water pollution and the backwardness of water quality monitoring in China. Therefore, to control water pollution, water quality monitoring must be done first.

In recent years, automatic water quality monitoring technology has been widely used in surface water monitoring in many countries, and the construction of automatic water quality monitoring stations in my country has also made great progress.
