Abstract: A method of disseminating information includes detecting, by a first monitoring device, a condition of an aspect of an infrastructure; transmitting data relating to the condition and a first time stamp; detecting, by a second monitoring device, the condition; transmitting data relating to the condition and a second time stamp; determining whether a difference in data indicates a problem of contamination; subsequent to an indication of the problem of contamination, determining an amount of the contamination, an approximate location of the contamination, a direction of contamination movement, and a speed of the contamination movement, based on the first time stamp and the second time stamp; determining whether a difference in data indicates corrosion within the infrastructure; and subsequent to the indication of corrosion, determining whether the data relating to the condition indicates an amount of corrosion determined to be the problem, and a level of severity of the corrosion.
