| Abstract: | In the Netherlands, managing groundwater effectively is essential, since groundwater is crucial for the Netherlands. Because it affects everything from drinking water supply to nature conservation and urban development. Monitoring groundwater levels is a key part of this effort, but it is becoming more complicated because of new laws and the large amounts of data being collected more frequently than ever before. Previously, observing and checking the accuracy of groundwater data was mostly done by hand, a detailed but increasingly slow method given the growing amount of data and the legal need to process this information quickly. Consequently, driven by the requirements of new legislation and advances in technology this research focuses on exploring ways to automate this process of checking groundwater data. Therefore during this research the new BRO legislation, ways of automating the validation process, hydrological validation and the current protocols are discussed. This research aims to gain insight into what steps can be automated in these validations protocols. The primary goal of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of automating steps within the anomaly detection phase of the groundwater data validation process. Traditionally and still in the majority of the current protocols this step is performed manually. Because of the recent shift of measuring methods to telemetry the amount of data entries significantly increased. Making it more tedious to validate manually. To navigate towards this goal, several research questions need to be answered, including: • What requirements does the BRO have for the validated data? • What are the differences and contributions of hydrological validation in comparison to automatic validation? • How do the different validation protocols compare to each other? |
