Real-time Environmental Monitoring for Cloud-based Hydrogeological Modeling with HydroGeoSphere

This paper describes an architecture for real-time environmental modeling. It consists of a wireless mesh network equipped with sensors and a cloud-based infrastructure to perform real-time environmental sim- ulations using a physics-based model combined with an Ensemble Kalman Filter. The purpose of the system is to optimize groundwater abstraction close to a river. These initial studies demonstrate that the cloud infrastructure can simultaneously compute a large number of simula- tions, thus allowing for the implementation of Ensemble Kalman Filters in real-time.
