Abstract: Deep tunnel drainage systems are effective for managing stormwater and preventing flooding, particularly in densely populated areas. This study introduces a novel smart monitoring approach that enhances the operation of such underground systems. Utilizing real-time data on water levels and discharges, the analysis facilitates the early identification and diagnosis of operational anomalies within the deep tunnels. The method integrates fundamental hydraulic principles to analyze the hydraulic performance and sediment deposition. A series of controlled experiments were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the smart monitoring technology. Results indicate substantial improvements in the detection of abnormal flow conditions when compared to conventional methods. The implementation of this smart monitoring approach not only provides early warnings but also significantly boosts the resilience of urban drainage infrastructures.
