| Abstract: | A discrete entropy-based approach is used to assess the groundwater monitoring network that exists in Kodaganar River basin of Southern India. Since any monitoring system is essentially an information collection system, its technical design and evaluation require a quantifiable measure of information and this measure can be derived using entropy. The use of information-based measures of groundwater table shows that the existing monitoring network contains a sufficient number of wells but is not well designed for the measurement of groundwater level. Entropy-based results show that 15 wells are vital to measure regional groundwater level, not 28 wells which are being monitored effectively in this basin. |
