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.

1. A method of disseminating information, the method comprising: detecting, by a first monitoring device, a first condition of a first aspect of an infrastructure and transmitting a data signal to an operations center, the data signal including data relating to the first condition and a first time stamp;detecting, by a second monitoring device, the first condition of the first aspect and a second condition of a second aspect of the infrastructure, and transmitting a data signal to the operations center, the data signal including data relating to the second condition and data relating to the first condition, and the data signal comprising a second time stamp;determining, by the operations center, whether the data included in the data signal received from either of the monitoring devices indicates a problem of contamination within the infrastructure;subsequent to an indication of the problem of contamination, determining, by the operations center, an amount of the contamination, an approximate location of the contamination, a direction of contamination movement, and a speed of the contamination movement, wherein the direction and the speed of the contamination movement are based on the first time stamp from the first monitoring device and the second time stamp from the second monitoring device;determining, by the operations center, whether the data included within the data signal received from either of the monitoring devices indicates a problem of corrosion within the infrastructure; andsubsequent to an indication of the problem of corrosion, determining by the operations center an amount of corrosion determined to be the problem within the infrastructure and a level of severity of the corrosion;wherein the first aspect and the second aspect define different aspects of the infrastructure. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein each monitoring device comprises: at least one sensor sensing at least one of the first and second conditions within the infrastructure,a data storage device storing data sensed by the at least one sensor,a first communications device adapted to transmit and receive data, anda first processor communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor, the data storage device, and the first communications device. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second monitoring device monitors the first condition. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising determining, by the operations center, whether a change in data between data as detected by the first monitoring device relating to the first condition from data as detected by the second monitoring device relating to the first condition indicates a second problem within the infrastructure. 5. A method of disseminating information, comprising: detecting, by a first monitoring device, a condition of an aspect of an infrastructure; transmitting, by the first monitoring device, a data signal including data relating to the condition and a first time stamp;detecting, by a second monitoring device, the condition of the aspect of the infrastructure;transmitting, by the second monitoring device, a data signal including data relating to the condition and a second time stamp;determining whether the data from the first monitoring device differs from the data from the second monitoring device;determining whether a difference in data indicates a problem of contamination within the infrastructure;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, wherein the direction and the speed of the contamination movement are based on the first time stamp from the first monitoring device and the second time stamp from the second monitoring device;determining whether a difference in data indicates a problem of corrosion within the infrastructure; andsubsequent to an indication of the problem of corrosion, determining whether the data relating to the condition as detected by the first monitoring device and the second monitoring device indicates an amount of corrosion determined to be the problem within the infrastructure, and a level of severity of the corrosion. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the determination of a level of severity of the corrosion is performed by an operations center. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising determining whether the corrosion is severe enough to warrant fixing based on the level of the severity of the corrosion.
