An iterative procedure for sampling in water quality management is presented. The procedure establishes a relationship between cost of sampling and relative uncertainty in total discharge into the water system and at the same time provides an optimal frequency matrix for sampling. The frequency of sampling at each discharge is treated as an independent variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
