Abstract

Time series data of multiple water quality parameters are obtained from the water sensor networks deployed in the agricultural water supply network. The accurate and efficient detection and warning of contamination events to prevent pollution from spreading is one of the most important issues when pollution occurs. In order to comprehensively reduce the event detection deviation, a spatial–temporal-based event detection approach with multivariate time-series data for water quality monitoring (M-STED) was proposed. The M-STED approach includes three parts. The first part is that M-STED adopts a Rule K algorithm to select backbone nodes as the nodes in the CDS, and forward the sensed data of multiple water parameters. The second part is to determine the state of each backbone node with back propagation neural network models and the sequential Bayesian analysis in the current timestamp. The third part is to establish a spatial model with Bayesian networks to estimate the state of the backbones in the next timestamp and trace the “outlier” node to its neighborhoods to detect a contamination event. The experimental results indicate that the average detection rate is more than 80% with M-STED and the false detection rate is lower than 9%, respectively. The M-STED approach can improve the rate of detection by about 40% and reduce the false alarm rate by about 45%, compared with the event detection with a single water parameter algorithm, S-STED. Moreover, the proposed M-STED can exhibit better performance in terms of detection delay and scalability.

Summary

Introduction

Water is an important resource of the ecological environment in the agricultural industry. Polluted water can have directly negative impact on the agricultural irrigation and result in the low quality and output of the crops. When a large-scale water contamination event occurs, it is one of the most important issues to detect and warn contamination events and prevent pollution from spreading. One effective way is to deploy a large-scale number of water quality sensors to monitor generic water quality parameters and detect contamination events [1]. Online water quality sensors are deployed in the waters networks (WSNs), which can measure many contaminants and provide an early indicator of possible pollution [2,3]. It is an important to establish how to detect contamination events in real-time and in an accurate way with the multivariate time
