System for monitoring quality of water system
First Claim
1. An apparatus for detecting and warning of a specific condition in a body of water, comprising:
- a monitoring module comprising a plurality of sensors each of which is adapted to sense a respective environmental parameter and a data transmitting unit coupled to said plurality of sensors; and
a decision support module adapted to receive said data from said data transmitting unit comprising an artificial intelligence system for analyzing said data and a processor for determining a probability that the specific condition exists in the body of water.

Abstract
A monitoring, detection and alarm for water systems includes a plurality of sensing components for detecting the presence of target contaminants in water and for measuring the overall quality of the water. The apparatus contains water sensing components, a database for storing sensor data and processors for data analysis using artificial intelligence. The apparatus provides control logic to take responsive action based on the results of the detection of the target contaminants. Responsive action includes, but is not limited to, generation of reports and alarm signals that are delivered in near real-time to users of the system.
