The management Information System of Dujiangyan Irrigation System

A groundbreaking management information system (MIS) for the Dujiangyan Irrigation System (DIS), a 2,260-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, has been developed to preserve and utilize its hydraulic legacy. The DIS, engineered in 256 BCE by Li Bing, revolutionized water control with its interconnected Yuzui, Feishayan, and Baopingkou structures, which manage water intake, flood control, and sand drainage. This system has sustained the Chengdu plain's prosperity, earning it the title 'Land of Abundance.' The MIS leverages the DIS's hydraulic vestiges to provide a modern framework for its conservation and operational insights, marking a significant advancement in integrating historical engineering with contemporary data management.
