Table 5. Dam Break Audible Alert System Obstacles/Challenges to Industry Development

	Obstacles/Challenges	Description
1	Harsh Environment Adaptability & Long-Term Reliability Risks	Most dam sites are situated in remote, outdoor harsh environments with high humidity, heavy rainfall, extreme temperature fluctuations, strong structural vibration, and corrosive atmospheres. These conditions threaten the stable operation of core components: monitoring sensors are prone to drift or failure due to corrosion and vibration, communication modules face signal attenuation/interruption in complex terrain, and solar-battery power systems suffer efficiency losses in low-light or extreme cold. Maintaining consistent alarm performance under strong wind, rain, or fog also demands robust hardware design, raising R&D/production costs while testing material/component durability over long service cycles.
2	Interoperability Barriers & Data Silo Fragmentation	The industry lacks unified communication protocols and data standards, leading to severe interoperability issues. Existing dam monitoring systems use proprietary hardware/software from diverse manufacturers, making it hard to integrate real-time data from water level, deformation, and rainfall sensors into a unified alert platform. Additionally, connecting alert systems with government emergency command platforms, flood control headquarters, and local community notification systems is hindered by inconsistent data interfaces and non-standardized alarm grading rules, creating information silos. This fragmentation delays early warning signal transmission, impedes cross-departmental coordinated response, and increases integration complexity and costs for manufacturers and end-users alike.
3	Cost Constraints & Uneven Market Penetration	High upfront investment and ongoing maintenance costs block widespread adoption, especially for small-scale dam projects with limited budgets. Advanced systems with AI predictive algorithms, multi-mode satellite communication, and self-sustaining power supply carry high R&D/production costs unaffordable for low-budget users. Long-term operation also requires regular sensor calibration, lithium battery replacement, and communication equipment maintenance, adding recurring costs that many small management units cannot sustain. This results in uneven penetration: large hydropower stations and industrial mines adopt high-performance systems, while small/medium dams remain under-protected, limiting the industry’s overall market scale and social safety value.
4	Inconsistent Standards & Weak Regulatory Enforcement	The industry lacks unified, mandatory national/regional standards for core performance indicators and certification processes. Divergent technical requirements across regions and sectors lead to fragmented product specifications and uneven quality. While some high-risk areas have deployment mandates, regulatory enforcement is inconsistent—many rural/remote regions lack effective supervision, allowing low-quality, non-compliant products to enter the market and erode industry trust. The absence of standardized data sharing and emergency linkage protocols also hinders the formation of a cross-regional early warning network, reducing the system’s overall disaster mitigation effectiveness.
