The global Dike Risk Monitoring and Early Warning System market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1122 million in 2025 to US$ 2211 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2026 to 2032.

The levee risk monitoring and early warning system is a smart monitoring system designed for projects such as river levees and flood control dikes around reservoir dams. It utilizes sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and a monitoring platform to conduct real-time checks on the safety of the levee structure. It typically deploys multiple monitoring points on the levee itself and in the surrounding area, including those for displacement, settlement, seepage pressure, pore water pressure, rainfall, water level, and video feeds. Data is collected to the platform via wired/wireless methods. Combined with model algorithms and early warning thresholds, the system automatically identifies risk conditions such as abnormal seepage, piping, landslide deformation, exceeding water levels, and excessive rainfall. It promptly sends early warning information to flood control command, river management, and local emergency departments, coordinating with levee patrol personnel and emergency response plans. This shifts the focus from post-disaster emergency response to pre-disaster warning + early intervention, improving the overall flood control safety of the levees.

2. Case Study: In a riverside city in Central China, dike safety management had long relied on manual patrols, resulting in long monitoring cycles, data lag, and slow risk response. In 2023, the city launched the Smart Flood Control and Dike Safety Monitoring Integration Project, deploying 800 sets of automated dike monitoring terminals, covering key dike sections throughout the city. The system uses NB-IoT wireless communication and solar power, integrating seepage pressure, displacement, rainfall, water level, and video monitoring functions. After completion, the project will enable automatic data collection, real-time uploading, and intelligent analysis through a cloud platform. The data upload cycle will be reduced from 3 hours to 5 minutes, early warning response time will be shortened by 60%, and the efficiency of dike safety inspections will be improved by 70%. The system also supports remote dispatching by the flood control command center, enabling multi-departmental collaboration and providing a scientific basis for flood season defense decisions.
