Remote monitoring system for water
First Claim
1. A water quality detection system comprising:
- a multiplicity of detectors wherein each detector of said detectors is capable of monitoring at least one attribute of water and providing a signal related to said attribute;
a controller capable of receiving each signal and comparing said signal to a control signal for said attribute;
a response mechanism responsive to said controller and activated when at least one signal matches said control signal;
an access gate limiting access to at least one of said detector, said controller or said response mechanism;
an access key for comparing a user attribute with a stored attribute wherein when said user attribute matches said stored attribute access is provided into said access gate.

Abstract
A water quality detection system for distributed water supply network. The system, 1, comprises a multiplicity of detectors, 5, wherein each detector of the detectors is capable of monitoring at least one attribute of water and providing a signal related to the attribute. A controller, 7, is provided which is capable of receiving each signal and comparing the signal to a control signal for the attribute. A response mechanism, 9, is responsive to the controller and activated when at least one signal matches the control signal. An access gate, 10, limits access to at least one of the detector, the controller or the response mechanism. An access key, 13, is provided for comparing a user attribute with a stored attribute wherein when the user attribute matches the stored attribute access is provided into the access gate.

16. A water contamination detection system comprising a multiplicity of detectors wherein each detector of said multiplicity of detectors measures an attribute of flowing water;
-
a communication link between each said detector and a comparator wherein each attribute is transmitted to said comparator;
a data storage unit comprising test levels wherein each test level of said test levels correlates to a contamination level;
a communication link for communicating said test level from said data storage unit to said comparator wherein said comparator compares each said attribute with said test level;
wherein when at least one test level matches said attribute said comparator activates a response. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)

35. A method for determining contamination levels in flowing liquid comprising:
-
measuring multiple distinct attributes of said flowing liquid;
comparing said multiple distinct attributes to correlated attributes wherein said correlated attributes indicate known contaminants; and
activating a response when at least one comparative attribute of said multiple distinct attributes matches one comparative attribute of said correlated attributes. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)
