Abstract
Monitoring networks are designed and operated to eventually obtain information on water quality. This information is contained in the data collected by the network and has to be extracted from the data to produce the final output of a data management system described in Fig.1.1 of Chapter 1. Essentially, these methods do not only serve to produce the output information but they also help to assess the efficiency of the monitoring system by which the data are collected.
