Statistical Verification of Mean-Value Fixed Water Quality Monitor Sites in Flowing Waters
نویسنده
چکیده
This technical note describes a method for verifying the representativeness of mean-value and extreme-value water quality monitoring locations. Recommended techniques are illustrated using data collected with the total dissolved gas monitoring system on the Columbia and Snake Rivers. This technical note shows how statistical techniques can be applied to the design of monitoring systems to ensure that data collected are representative and thus scientifically defensible.

Investigation and analysis of groundwater quality to monitor contamination and identify the most important pollutants and pollution points is one of the research fields. The objective of this research was to plan to improve groundwater quality on various spatial and temporal scales. Groundwater information of Maragheh-Bonab plain was collected from 26 wells in 10 years (2001-2011) with 454 samp...
متن کاملA Generalized Linear Statistical Model Approach to Monitor Profiles
Statistical process control methods for monitoring processes with univariate ormultivariate measurements are used widely when the quality variables fit to known probabilitydistributions. Some processes, however, are better characterized by a profile or a function of qualityvariables. For each profile, it is assumed that a collection of data on the response variable along withthe values of the c...
