Adapting catchment monitoring and potable water treatment to climate change

使集水区监测和饮用水处理适应气候变化。该项目旨在使水工业能够预见和管理从集水区到处理厂的不良原水有机物质量。它将研究影响处理厂性能和影响公众健康的有机物侵入的触发因素。该项目将开发和部署创新传感器，在分子水平上实时检测目标水质变化，并改进操作策略，使现有处理厂的性能稳定可靠。这种从集水区到工厂的方法有望提高现有处理资产的生产力，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.
