Providing water parameters monitoring data through interoperable web services

The paper describes the design and development of a water parameters monitoring system for rivers. The system exposes a set of web services that can act as support for decision making in pollution control or as data provider for a wide range of informational, educational or research applications. A prototype based on the proposed system design was build and experiments were made on Somes River in Romania. Our prototype contains web based and mobile applications that provide access to the measurements made by the sensors and to the historical information as well.
