Monitoring networks provide data that is analysed to help managers
make informed decisions about their water systems. Their design and
evaluation have a number of challenges that must be resolved, among
others, the restriction on having a limited number of monitoring
devices. This book presents innovative methods to design and
evaluate monitoring networks. The main idea is to maximise the
performance of water systems by optimising the information content
that can be obtained from monitoring networks. This is done through
the combination of models and two theoretical concepts: Information
Theory, initially developed in the field of communications, and
Value of Information, initially developed in the field of
economics. Additionally, the possibility of using public
participation to gather information with mobile phones to improve
models is also explored in the research. Two very different case
studies are used to test the developed methods and theories:
Pijnacker, a typical low-lying regional polder in the Netherlands,
which is highly controlled and the Magdalena River, the major river
system in Colombia. The results of this research demonstrate that
monitoring networks can be evaluated and designed by considering
new variables, such as the information content, the user of the
information and the potential of current mobile phones for data
collection.
