Abstract
An Anti-Terrorism water quality monitoring system for continuously monitoring a potable water treatment system and related potable water distribution network that provides potable water to a municipality, city, housing development or other potable water consumer. The system includes the collection of data from the water distribution system and from the water treatment facility and from advanced separation processes which are integrated into analytical instruments. The data collected are stored in a remote database on a remote server computer or bank of computers and accessible by Homeland Security or its designated agency. Preferred parameters of monitoring include the turbidity and disinfectant such as chlorine, hypochlorous acid, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, ozone, chlorine dioxide, chloramines, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid.

76. A system comprising:
-
one or more remote computers for;
producing one or more performance analysis results based on comparing current water treatment system data and/or current water distribution system data with each other and/or historical water treatment system data and/or historical water distribution system data;
displaying the one or more performance analysis results to one or more users via a web browser program and/or formatting the one or more performance analysis results in a format accessible by one or more users by a web browser program and/or sending the one or more performance analysis results to one or more users by electronic transmission; andone or more databases for storing one or more of the members of the group consisting of;
the one or more performance analysis results, the current water treatment system data, the current water distribution system data, the historical water treatment system data and the historical water distribution system data;wherein the one or more databases are part of the one or more remote computers; wherein the one or more remote computers are located remotely from and are in electronic communication with an electronic control system that collects the current water treatment system data and at least some of the current water distribution system data; wherein the collected current water treatment system data and at least some of the current water distribution system data are transmitted by the electronic control system to the one or more remote computers; and wherein the system remotely monitors performance parameters of the potable water treatment system and the potable water distribution system. - View Dependent Claims (77, 78)
