The earth-mover's distance is simple and efficient to compute in a discrete 1D case, where the distribution is defined in a number of bins. This makes it readily available in many software packages.
As a first approximation, it is helpful to model the distribution as a simple trapezoidal distribution, instead of a normal distribution.
