First, an efficient  information system is required to satisfy the needs of water quality  management plans and to aid in the decision-making process. Second,  this system has to be realized under the constraints of limited  financial resources, sampling and analysis facilities, and manpower.  Problems observed in available data and shortcomings of current  networks have led researchers to focus more critically on the design  procedures used. \u003cbr\u003e  The book is intended to present an up-to-date overview of the current  network design procedures and develop basic guidelines to be followed  in both the design and the redesign of water quality monitoring  networks. The book treats the network design problem in a  comprehensive and systematic framework, starting with objectives of  monitoring and elaborating on various technical design features, e.g.  selection of sampling sites, sampling frequencies, variables to be  monitored, and sampling duration. The design procedures presented are  those that the authors have recently applied in a number of national  and international projects on the design and redesign of water quality  monitoring networks. Thus, the book covers real case studies where not  only the methods described in the earlier titles are used but also new  techniques are introduced. Where earlier methods are used, they are  assessed with respect to their efficiency and applicability to real  case problems. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Essentially, the framework adopted in the book applies  as well to other hydrometric data collection networks besides those of  water quality. In this respect, it is expected that planners,  designers, scientists, and engineers who are involved in hydrometric  network design will benefit from the in-depth approach assumed in this  book. It will also be of interestto research and data centers,  international programs and organizations related to environmental  monitoring. The book may also be used as a reference text in graduate  courses of water resources and environmental engineering programs.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789048151509\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048151509\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9155-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 290\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358934593676,"sku":"9789048151509","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048151509.jpg?v=1755098019","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048151509","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
