Integrated Use of Monitoring and Modeling in Water Resources Research

摘要: Despite the many advances in sensors and recording techniques, monitoring programs can still be relatively expensive. In practice, this often limits density of programs. Yet, large amounts data are monitored filed without proper analysis their information contents. The combined use simulation models reduce costs facilitate rigorous analyses data. Physically based provide best means interpolating between measurement points (in space time). also aid effective design Field used to improve quality models. For real time monitoring, fed back into through automatic update routines. These long for hydraulic data, now developed water Whenever possible, integration modeling should designed from outset obtain full benefit. New techniques linking two methodologies including mining, validation, assimilation techniques. paper describes some recent developments field, giving examples practical applications.
