1. A system to present data about at least one artificial structure in or over at least one hydrological feature, the system comprising:
- at least one database for storing data about the at least one artificial structures, wherein the stored data includes structural data and is associated with one or more of the at least one artificial structure, where the at least one artificial structure is associated with at least one threshold;
at least one data source for providing stored data;
a user interface for presenting at least one warning signal associated with the at least one artificial structure at least one threshold associated with the at least one artificial structure and the stored data.

Abstract
An instrumented structure is combined with real time environmental and weather information. The data from the structure is monitored via the Internet or another communications system. That information together with historical, analytical and the other relevant data in environmental events influencing the infrastructure are used to determine thresholds. When a threshold is passed the system automatically notifies a user who can then remotely access the real time events and measurements. The user can have real time relevant information to react to any emergency.

20. A system for monitoring an at least one artificial structure in or over a least one hydrological feature, the system comprising:
-
a computer in communication with;
at least one data source which provides measurement data representative of at least one measurement of an environmental condition affecting the at least one artificial structure, and at least one database which stores a at least one threshold for the measurement data;
wherein the computer compares the measurement data with the at least one threshold and communicates least one alert when the measurement data exceeds the at least one threshold. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)

30. A system for prioritizing at least one artificial structures in or over hydrological features, the system comprising:
-
a computer in communication with;
data sources which provide measurement data representing at least one measurement of en environmental condition associated with the at least one-artificial structures;
at least one database which associates the measurement data with one or more of the at least one artificial structure, where the at least one artificial structure is associated with at least one threshold, where the at least one threshold is associated with a priority;
wherein the computer;
compares the measurement data the associated at least one thresholds to identify the measurement data exceeding the associated at least one thresholds;
identifies at least one artificial structures associated with the identified measurement data; and
prioritizes the at least one artificial structures based on the priority associated with the at least one threshold exceeded by the identified measurement data - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34)
