This slide presentation outlines information on using basic water quality sensors to spot deviations from normal in a distribution system and mathematically analyze the deviation signals to: trigger when something harmful is present; detect what agent is present; and, quantify the amount in the water. Topics covered include: selected sensor set; radar plot of agent deviations; detection algorithm added to trigger; beaker testing; single pass flow testing; large volume single pass flow testing; interpretation of results; ETV study; loop testing at ECBC; plant event defined; learning method for plant event; components of an Enhanced Water Distribution Monitoring System; event monitor main screen; PipeSonde In-Pipe Probe; and, on-going work.
