Water Quality Monitoring and Management: Basis, Technology and Case Studies

Water Quality Monitoring and Management: Basis, Technology and Case Studies presents recent innovations in operations management for water quality monitoring. It highlights the cost of using and choosing smart sensors with advanced engineering approaches that have been applied in water quality monitoring management, including area coverage planning and sequential scheduling. In parallel, the book covers newly introduced technologies like bulk data handling techniques, IoT of agriculture, and compliance with environmental considerations. Presented from a system engineering perspective, the book includes aspects on advanced optimization, system and platform, Wireless Sensor Network, selection of river water quality, groundwater quality detection, and more.

It will be an ideal resource for students, researchers and those working daily in agriculture who must maintain acceptable water quality.

• Discusses field operations research and application in water science
• Includes detection methods and case analysis for water quality management
• Encompasses rivers, lakes, seas and groundwater
• Covers water for agriculture, aquaculture, drinking and industrial uses
