New Approaches to Development of Integrated Methods for Data Processing in Environmental Monitoring Systems

This paper considers theoretical and practical aspects of an integrated system development for data processing and presentation. In this system, there are three approaches: statistical data processing, data precision assessment through an expert system and knowledge based application, reliability assessment on the basis of a mathematic model of the natural process. Substantial importance is given to the development of a knowledge base about surface water quality and wastewater discharges (pollution sources). The results of the approaches are demonstrated on specific examples of data processing for a river network with an application of the demonstration version of “Hydrochemistry” expert system.
