Based on the project, the county government of Pengyang invested further to integrate updated internet technology especially to improve the quality and stability of water supply in rural areas.

Zhang admitted that facilities didn't work well at first and water quality was not satisfying.

The county later transformed the facilities in the reservoir, the pump station and the pipe network, and equipped every household with smart water meters, which enables real-time video monitoring of the whole water supply process, as well as remote control and management on computer and phone.

The water management staff can monitor the PH value and turbidity of the water online. Once there's a breakdown, the system would automatically sound the alarm and distribute maintenance tasks.
