5. Conclusion

Environmental assessment has become increasingly important, with the advent of tools designed to provide effective assistance in the decision-making process. Numerical modelling plays a key role in this assessment process, with models increasingly capable of representing complex natural processes. Advances in numerical methods and computing capacity now make it possible to consider the use of deterministic models based on physical equations, potentially capable of correctly representing complex processes. At the same time, the emergence of low-cost sensors has enabled the deployment of increasingly efficient observation networks, which can be linked to telecommunication networks whose protocols they share. This new environment demonstrates both the relevance of the approach and the maturity of the various technological solutions being integrated. In the next stage, and in order to ensure...
