Application of monitoring technologies in environmental engineering

This paper provides an insight into the significance of monitoring as it pertains to environmental engineering. Three examples of using monitoring techniques for modelling and maintaining environmental processes are presented in this work, Firstly, computer aided decision making to maintain a wastewater treatment plant. Secondly, computer aided management of a communal water network, and thirdly modelling the forecasting of air temperature. The paper illustrates how the essential parameters of the above three disparate but related examples can be controlled through techniques illustrated in this paper.
