Abstract

A hydrologic data collection network is considered to be a component of a communication channel conveying regional hydrologic information. A measure of the information transmission by the hydrologic network, in conjunction with spatial estimators, is derived using Shannon's information theory. The resulting measure confirms that the network information transmission is dependent upon the joint entropy of the network station output but independent of the spatial estimators. -from ASCE Publications Abstracts
