1. A system for forecasting the composition of influx water received in a Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) comprising:

  • at least one means for monitoring water condition data on-site at individual waste water treatment sites remotely located from the WWTP which are constructed and arranged to discharge streams into the water collection system processed by the WWTP, said means to monitor water condition data operable to derive raw sensor data including time-stamped and location specific information on flow rate and composition of said discharge streams in association with a unique identifier corresponding to a particular waste water treatment site;

    at least one communication means operable to transmit said raw sensor data via Internet technology to a remote location;

    at least one software-implemented database resident on at least one computer configured to receive data transmitted from remote sources via Internet technology, wherein said at least one communication means transmits said data to said at least one database and said data is stored in said database;

    at least one software-implemented web server resident on at least one computer configured to interface with said at least one database allowing said data to be accessed from a remotely-located client computer via Internet technology; and

    a means to analyze said particular waste water treatment site water condition data transmitted from one or a plurality of particular waste water treatment sites based on known water flow patterns to calculate a predicted composition and flow rate of water arriving at the WWTP as a function of time resulting in analyzed data; and

    a means to manipulate said raw data and analyzed data into an analysis result and a report result accessible from a remotely-located client computer via said software-implemented Web server.
