Assessment of groundwater quality monitoring network based on information theory

This paper presents the method of assessment of groundwater quality monitoring network taking into account quantity of information, which can be delivered to the control system. This study was carried out on groundwater monitoring network of post-flotation waste disposal site, called “Zelazny Most”. This paper shows the pilot study going to reorganization of existing groundwater quality monitoring network. Farther, different scenarios of verification the existing monitoring network are proposed. The density of monitoring network surrounded the reservoir are also considered. The values of transinformation were used to evaluation the amount of information providing by groundwater quality monitoring network.
