  • An entropy-based approach is applied to identify redundant wells in thenetwork. In the process of this research, groundwater-monitoring network is considered as acommunication system with a capability to transfer information, and monitoring wells are taken asinformation receivers. The concepts of entropy and mutual information are then applied to measurethe information content of individual monitoring well and information relationship betweenmonitoring well pairs. The efficiency of information transfer among monitoring wells is the basis tojudge the redundancy in the network. And the capacity of the monitoring wells to provideinformation on groundwater is the point of evaluation to identify redundant monitoring wells. Thisapproach is demonstrated using the data from a regional-scale ground-water network in Hebei plain, China The result shows that the entropy-based method is recommendable in optimizing groundwaternetworks, especially for those within media of higher heterogeneities and ani-sotropies.
