Imprecision of input data is an important characteristic feature of environmental monitoring. When making evaluations, conclusions and the decisions from collected data, one has to be very careful not to make fatal mistake. The important task of computing and current information and communication technology is to deal with the primary data uncertainty and thus to reduce the risk of mistake. At present new approaches and methodologies to handle environmental data uncertainty are explored as opposite to standard. The paper presents comparison of such new approach against European Environment Agency and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards in the several cases of the assessment environmental management indicators in the Czech Republic. The new approach brings more modular way of dealing with uncertainty and is supposed to bring better results and less workload then standard approach. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
