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 hypochloritc, ozone, chlorine dioxide, chloramines, hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid.

33. A system for real-time web-based monitoring of water utilities, the system comprising:
-
at least one data detection device configured to; continuously scan sensor data input and send the inputted sensor data to a data management device; receive sensor and operational data relevant to monitoring the water in a water utility system; manipulate the received sensor and operational data; and store the manipulated data; and a data management device configured to; receive the manipulated data sent from the data detection device; evaluate the received data by continuously comparing the received sensor data with set alarm points; manipulate the evaluated data into an analysis result; display the analysis result and historical data in a color-coded graphical user interface, indicating normal system operation, warning status, and alarm conditions; the analysis result being displayed in a graphical or tabular format such that an individual having been authorized to access the analysis result can assess a current state of the system performance based on the display; and determine that an individual is authorized to receive the analysis result. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41)

49. A system for real-time web-based monitoring of water utilities, the system comprising:
-
a web-based data management device configured to; obtain periodically from one or more remote sources data based on water quality sensor readings; compile the data into a database; update the compiled data; analyze the compiled data to determine whether a predetermined alarm condition exists and whether the alarm condition satisfies a predefined requirement; format the analyzed data into a color coded graphical display indicating normal system operation, warning status, and alarm conditions, such that an individual having been authorized to access the web-based management device can assess a current state of the system performance based on the display; generate a customized report based on the analyzed data; send the customized report to pre-selected recipients if the alarm condition satisfies the predefined requirement; display the analysis result in a user interface; and send information relating to the analysis result to authorized individuals. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52)
