Application - Source Water Monitoring
Application Overview
Source water can be vulnerable to accidental or intentional contaminants and weather related or seasonal changes. Monitoring an input water source can provide useful information to the Drinking Water Plants that process incoming water. Plants can adjust their processes or even shut down their intake should their Source Water parameters change significantly. Source water monitoring helps plants to minimize processing costs and protects the plant from a damaging event.
Continuously monitoring the quality of your incoming Source Water enables you to:
- Anticipate changes to the treatment process that are needed to react to storms, algal blooms, industrial discharge, chemical spills, reservoir stratification/destratification, construction activity, sewage spills and other natural or man-made occurrences
- Improve process control - make necessary changes to your chemical quantities before the water enters your plant
- Improve your response time to changes in your incoming water
