This white paper describes the technological state of the art and examines the potential for using distributed sensing systems to improve the management of critical water resources. The paper also outlines recommendations for further research to advance the development and use of these systems by environmental resource managers.
The white paper was prepared by scientists and engineers at the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS) at UCLA for the Wilson Center’s Foresight and Governance Project with support from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Offices of Water and Research & Development, with assistance from the Office of Air & Radiation.
