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 data relevant to monitoring the water in a water utility system; and manipulate the received sensor 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 in a color-coded graphical user interface, indicating normal system operation and alarm conditions; the analysis result being continuously updated based on the incoming data and 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)
