AWWA WQTC71651

This study focuses on the evaluation of existing programs, steps that led to the decision to apply for a Water Security Initiative Grant, and challenges associated with the mobilization of resources for staff hiring and contractor procurement. The New York City Contamination Warning Demonstration Pilot (CWSDP) builds on existing programs and will enhance their output through expansion of monitoring programs and the development of an enhanced data acquisition platform or dashboard. The dashboard will provide data integration from various data streams (continuous water quality monitoring data, consumer calls, syndromic surveillance, and security) and will also be the common link for hydraulic modeling and consequence management. Mobilization of resources (staffing and procurement) represents major challenges that need to be accounted for in the CWSDP timeline. Includes abstract only.
