Abstract: As the development in communication technology，there are several methods available for remote data transmission，including ultra-short wave communication，short-wave communications，wired PSTN communication，GSM communications（SMS and GPRS），CDMA，optical fiber communications and satellite communications（with a variety of satellite channels），etc. Recent years，GPRS network of China Mobile has been commercialized，which provides a new way to transmit water information through public network. This paper discussed the application of GPRS in the automatic measuring system of water regime for Wanyao Reservoir.

摘要： 随着通信技术的不断进步和发展，远程数据传输已有许多选择：超短波通讯、短波通讯、有线PSTN通信、GSM通信（分SMS和GPRS两种方式）、CDMA、光纤通信以及卫星通讯（含多种卫星通道）等。近年来，中国移动GPRS网络进入了商业化实用阶段，提供了利用国家公网传输水情数据的又一种方法。本文讨论GPRS通信手段在碗窑水库水情自动测报系统中的应用。
