Adapting catchment monitoring and potable water treatment to climate change

使集水监测和饮用水处理适应气候变化。该项目旨在使水行业能够控制和管理从集水区到处理厂的不利原水有机物质量。它将研究有机物漂移的触发因素，这些因素会损害处理厂的性能并影响公众健康。该项目将开发和部署创新的传感器，以现场和真实的时间检测分子水平的目标水质变化，并改进现有处理厂的稳健和可靠性能的操作策略。这种集水到工厂的方法预计将使现有的处理资产更具生产力，并推迟额外的处理成本。

Adapting catchment monitoring and potable water treatment to climate change. This project aims to make the water industry capable of foreseeing and managing adverse raw water organic matter quality from the catchment to the treatment plant. It will research the triggers for organic matter excursions that compromise treatment plant performance and affect public health. The project will develop and deploy innovative sensors to detect targeted water quality changes at the molecular level in situ and real time, and improve operating strategies for robust and reliable performance of existing treatment plants. This catchment to plant approach is expected to make existing treatment assets more productive and defer additional treatment costs.
