Abstract
A methodology by means of Geographic Information System (GIS) and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for optimizing the spatial distribution of river monitoring stations for the detection of pollutant source in a river system is described. Two practical case studies are investigated to demonstrate the use of the method in (1) a regulatory monitoring plan for the Lanyang River System in northeastern Taiwan; and (2) a restrictive monitoring plan where the possible sampling sites are restricted to the existing flow gauge stations on the Lanyang River System. Plausible results were obtained encouraging the possibility of using GAs in river monitoring plan designs.
