通信和传感器技术的最新进展促进了水质远程监测能力的进步。因此，在适当的时间和空间尺度上描述动态水文特性的能力大大提高。这些进展导致在监测淡水、河口和海洋生态系统在地方、流域和区域尺度上的水质趋势方面改进了统计和机械建模。此外，它们还大大增强了快速（例如，实时）检测水文变化，这被认为是建立预警系统和快速应对有害藻华事件的迫切需要。在这里，我们提出了一些具有里程碑意义的发展和技术成就，导致了实时远程监测水文特性的出现。我们的结论是，实时远程监测（RTRM）和传感技术的使用和不断进步将成为一个越来越重要的工具，用于评估水质。联邦和州监管机构、行业和学术实验室最近设计和部署RTRM技术，现在允许快速检测和响应由增加的营养负荷、低氧和缺氧区域的发展、有毒物质和有害藻华爆发引起的环境威胁，这些威胁导致鱼类死亡事件和潜在的人类健康影响。(C)2004 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Recent advances in communication and sensor technology have catalyzed progress in remote monitoring capabilities for water quality. As a result, the ability to characterize dynamic hydrologic properties at adequate temporal and spatial scales has greatly improved. These advances have led to improved statistical and mechanistic modeling in monitoring of water quality trends at local, watershed and regional scales for freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems. In addition, they have greatly enhanced rapid (e.g., real-time) detection of hydrologic variability, recognized as a critical need for early warning systems and rapid response to harmful algal bloom events. Here, we present some of the landmark developments and technological achievements that led to the advent of real-time remote monitors for hydrologic properties. We conclude that increased use and continuing advancements of real-time remote monitoring (RTRM) and sensing technologies will become a progressively more important tool for evaluating water quality. Recent engineering and deployment of RTRM technologies by federal and state regulatory agencies, industries, and academic laboratories is now permitting rapid detection of, and responses to, environmental threats imposed by increased nutrient loadings, development of hypoxic and anoxic areas, toxicants, and harmful algal bloom outbreaks leading to fish kill events and potential human health impacts.
