REGULATORY WATER QUALITY MONITORING: A SYSTEMS PERSPECTIVE

Optimal water quality monitoring network design for river systems.

Typical tasks of a river monitoring network design include the selection of the water quality parameters, selection of sampling and measurement methods for these parameters, identification of the locations of sampling stations and determination of the sampling frequencies. These primary design considerations may require a variety of objectives, constraints and solutions. In this study we focus ...

Optimum Water Quality Monitoring Network Design for Bidirectional River Systems

Affected by regular tides, bidirectional water flows play a crucial role in surface river systems. Using optimization theory to design a water quality monitoring network can reduce the redundant monitoring nodes as well as save the costs for building and running a monitoring network. A novel algorithm is proposed to design an optimum water quality monitoring network for tidal rivers with bidire...

Real-time water quality monitoring

Coastal water quality affects millions of people in the United States every year from residents of coastal communities to beach visitors. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set forth standards for surface waters nationwide to reduce the amount of pollution released into them. In order to enforce these standards, methods for monitoring bacterial concentrations in coastal waters have b...
