Bridging Regulatory Compliance and Real Time Water Quality Reporting for Dynamic Auditability

Abstract

Real-time water quality surveillance demands continuous, regulation-aligned reporting, yet legacy compliance pipelines lack interoperability, change traceability, and on-demand audit support. We propose a conceptual framework that unifies regulatory taxonomy mapping, executable compliance workflow modelling, and continuous audit trail maintenance for dynamic reporting. A comparative analysis of environmental reporting architectures and scenario-based validation indicate improved framework applicability and regulatory adaptability, with gains in compliance accuracy, reporting efficiency, and auditability via traceable change logs and schema-aligned outputs. The distinctive integration of taxonomy-driven rules with streaming audit artifacts enables first-of-its-kind dynamic auditability. This advances practical, low-risk, continuously compliant utility reporting.
